"Carboot sales" usually means having a sale of old, unwanted stuffs piled up in the boot of your car. UK's retail quru Mary Portas is now giving the term a new twist.
To celebrate London Fashion Week (which opens on 17th September), Mary's Living & Giving Shop for Save the Children is joining a selection of supersmart brands in BRITAIN'S CHICEST CAR BOOT SALE, taking place in the Atrium at the Westfield London shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush from 21st to 26th September 2010.
Mary's Living & Giving car, which it is rumoured will be driven into the Atrium by Mary herself, will be bursting with amazing bargains including:
V&A (museum)'s new Brocade china range (at a special discounted rate);
Selected items from Ralph Lauren autumn/winter womenswear;
Hobo International 'Lauren' bag as featured in Sex and the City, the movie;
Signed copies of 'Isabella Blow' by Martina Rink;
Vintage Chanel handbags (these will sell out fast!); plus an array of unusual vintage pieces.
Mary Portas is asking all Westfield visitors to consider SHOPPING NEUTRAL throughout the event by donating an item of clothing for each new piece they buy. Make space in your wardrobe and help save a child's life by donating to Mary's Living & Giving Shop for Save the Children.
Think about it: how many items that you own do you actually wear? Fact is: if you haven't worn it for six months, you probably never will. But to be on the safe side, peruse the latest autumn trends showcased in the shops or featured in magazines before buying anything, go and check out your wardrobe for things that will still work this season, and pick out the stuffs that you want to get rid of. Then go to Westlife for Mary's event, armed with a bag of 'oldies but goodies' you want to donate.Some of the other 20 or so retailers participating in Britain's Chicest Car Boot Sale include: Swarovski, Whistles, Ted Baker, Topshop, Wolford and Storm Models.
