15.01.2022 As lovers of fashion throughout the ages, when unpacking donations and you come across treasures like these it just MAKES YOUR DAY! You cant help but wonder who the original owner was/is and make up a narrative for them! One of the many things we love and treasure about secondhand clothing is that each piece comes with its own individual history and story. This rainbow array of vintage power suits makes us long for an epic vintage, powersuit photo shoot! Would anyone be interested in seeing some vintage items up for sale in our eBay shop?

03.01.2022 Happy National Volunteer Week to all the amazing volunteers Australia wide who keep the wheels of many charitable organisations rotating with their generosity of time, spirit and expertise! We couldnt do what we do at Fitted for Work to assist women in our community experiencing disadvantage to find and keep meaningful employment without our incredible team of dedicated and highly skilled volunteers. A special shout out to the amazing "Closeteers", who kept our Melbourne The Conscious Closet shop running so beautifully up until December last year (and will hopefully help it rise again in a new location in the not-so-distant future!). We miss you and send our deepest gratitudes to you today, this week and always

02.01.2022 I cant even tell you how absolutely TRUE this statement is! The first thing admin does every work day is check to see what beautiful preloved items have sold overnight, and is giddy with joy to be greeted with an inbox full of orders waiting to be lovingly wrapped and packed and sent off to their new home. A humongous THANK YOU to everyone who has supported not just us, but other small businesses over these last fews months. It is more important than ever to support your local shops and suppliers wherever possible and so many are coming up with incredible, innovative ways to adapt their businesses from "opshopping from home" to take away espresso martinis! ... What more could a gal want?!

01.01.2022 Great story by ABCs The Drum this week on how COVID has affected the already small margins of the fast fashion industry, and the serious effects facing the garment workers in these supply chains. If you are paying poverty wages to the women who make your clothes, then those women are going to be exploited, marginalised and bare the brunt of these kind of economic shocks that happen. I think weve all got a lot of work to do, when were looking at what sort of world we want to build, post COVID. Clare Press says, and we couldnt agree more.
