Spruce up your winter wardrobe for less
Smart Works is a UK-based charity that provides unemployed women with the clothing, coaching and confidence they need to secure a job that could change the trajectory of their lives. Over the past ten years, they’ve helped support 40,000 women into secure employment, with 63% of women getting a job within a month of their first appointment with Smart Works. 94% of women also reported that Smart Works helped them feel more confident about their livelihoods and careers, so it’s an organisation that really does make a difference.
Smart Works runs regular fashion sales to help fund its work and it’s here with the first sale of 2025, running across the weekend of Sat 1st and Sun 2nd February at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. At the sale you’ll have the chance to score a bargain from many of your fave brands; prices on everything from dresses to accessories to athleisure will be slashed by up to 70%, with vintage pieces and samples also heavily discounted, making this one of the best sample sales in London.
There are three slots on the Saturday, with the first two of 9.30am – 10.45am and 11am – 12.15pm ticketed at £5, and the final one of 1pm – 5pm free to attend, and there will be restocks between each of those slots. The whole day session on the Sunday, from 10.30am – 4pm, is free though the Smart Works team would love any financial or clothing donations that you’re able to spare. 100% of all proceeds go directly towards supporting Smart Works’ efforts, so you’ll be shopping for a good cause as well as giving your wardrobe a refresh.
