We need donations of good-quality clothes, bric-à-brac etc. If you would like to drop off donations by car, please phone the shop (01223 312 802) for directions to the unloading area behind us on Paradise street and to make sure someone is available to open the back door.
Do you have any clothes from the 60s, 70s or 80s (or earlier) that no longer fit? Clothes and accessories that were new then are now very fashionable again, and are a valuable source of funds for our work. We can also sell related items such as packets of nylons, dress-making patterns, sewing sets, cookery books and leaflets that might not immediately occur to you as useful donations to a charity shop.
We are looking for motivated people with an interest in design and fashion to volunteer in the shop for half a day or more, either weekly or fortnightly. This is an excellent way to learn more about the history of design and what is actually involved in running a retail fashion operation: including online selling, customer care, displays etc. Although we are a charity shop, this does not mean "amateurish" — like any commercial operation we have to make a profit to stay in business.
If you are interested in helping at the shop, email emporium61@rspca-cambridge.org.uk, or just drop by at 61 Burleigh street.
Some pictures from the preview evening on 20th August
The carrier bags were actually hand-printed by some of the volunteers to a design by Andrew, our shop manager.
Please note: all "fur-type" materials sold by our shops are "faux". We do not sell any real fur items, as we believe that even secondhand fur sales are unethical as they may tend to encourage the trade in new fur, which causes suffering and death to animals.
