Fashion Relief's pop-up shop is back (with a treat in store for brides-to-be)

18 May 2021

Get ready to shop till you drop – Lorraine Keane’s Fashion Relief with Oxfam’s pop-up shop at Blackrock’s Frascati Centre is reopening its doors tomorrow!

And alongside the brand-new and pre-loved and designer bargains from the likes of Burberry, Diane von Furstenberg, Victoria Beckham and Irish talent Fee G, Deborah Veale and Louise Kennedy, there’s a very special treat in store for brides-to-be.

Over the next few weeks, and as part of a Frascati Centre bridal campaign, the pop-up will display a selection of beautiful new and pre-loved wedding dresses and accessories from Oxfam’s Bridal Boutique on George’s Street.

So, not only will future brides get the chance to shop for more affordable and sustainable options for that special day, they’ll also be supporting Oxfam’s global work to beat poverty for good.

But that’s not all - the Fashion Relief Pop-up at Frascati will also be packed full of designer and boutique bargains that would be perfect for any mother of the bride.

 “We are thrilled to be reopening this week and I am so excited about the bridal campaign at Frascati – who so generously offered us space for our Fashion Relief Pop-up,” said Lorraine. “I’m sure many of us know couples who had to postpone their weddings over the last year, but hopefully planning can recommence now and central to that is of course the wedding dress.

Fashion Relief and Oxfam Bridal are part of Oxfam’s solution to ‘throwaway fashion’, encouraging people to donate pre-loved items and reduce the amount of clothes that end up in landfill as well as shopping second-hand to give pre-loved clothes a longer life.

By working with retailers, boutiques, and wholesalers, supporting them to donate their end-of-line or excess stock instead of sending it to landfill, Oxfam Bridal and Fashion Relief offer a more sustainable solution for people and planet.

“By bagging a bargain from the Fashion Relief Pop-up, you’ll be shopping more sustainably, helping to divert pre-loved and end-of-line clothes from landfill, and doing your bit for people and planet,” said Lorraine.

“I’ve seen first-hand how the profits raised support some of the poorest and most at risk people through Oxfam’s work – people made even more vulnerable because of the deadly threat of Covid-19. When you shop with Fashion Relief and Oxfam Bridal, know that every purchase helps to transform lives and support those most in need – including communities most at risk from the climate crisis.”

Drop into the Frascati Centre tomorrow, Wednesday 19 May, to browse an amazing range of fabulous fashion finds at discounted prices, bag yourself a unique bargain or gift and feel good as you do good!
