A pre-loved fashion pop up is set to take over part of Fenwick’s former Bond Street store next month.
Charity group the Charity Super.Mkt – which include including Shelter, Traid, Shaw Trust and Havens Hospices – will be moving into Fenwick for two weeks, after the luxury department brand moves out of the site after over 100 years.
The group so far has raised almost £1.6 million for charities by selling over 180,000 items, diverting 53 tonnes of clothing away from landfill.
Fenwick director of strategic partnerships Leo Fenwick said the partnership with Charity Super.Mtk combines “many threads” of its sustainable and charitable initiatives.
The projects to boost sustainability and charity include “helping accelerate the move to a low-waste society with the reduction in textile waste, supporting opportunities for women to thrive, and partnering with charities to improve communities and the environment,” Fenwick added.

Charity Super.Mkt took over a fashion brand Topshop former store in Brent Cross last year.
At the time, Traid chief executive Maria Chenoweth said: “Having been in charity retail for over 30 years, being part of the first ever charity retail collaboration in an old fast-fashion Topshop store is iconic.
“Charity retail is the understated best of sustainable business, there is no better example of a green circular economy in action at this scale,” she added.
“Charity retail provides everyone the opportunity to buy good and do good, from supporting the environmental benefits of shopping second-hand to providing critical funding for causes both local and global,” Chenoweth continued.
