‘My favourite charity shop in London is Oxfam on Westbourne Grove. There is something special about this one, it almost has a boutique-y feel and I very often manage to leave with a great vintage find!’ says Nadiah Shruki.
‘My favourite buy from that store is a vintage silk Ferragamo black top, and my biggest regret is a beautiful pair of leather Prada loafers that I had to let my friend buy, because they weren’t my size (but did fit her perfectly).
‘I don’t often find myself in West London, but when I do I always try to make some time for a quick browse. It’s always worth the trip, and for such a good cause.
‘At Browns, we’ve also partnered up with charity shop Mind, notably the one in Camden, which saw teams from Browns as part of our management programme takeover the store for the day, drumming up sales and marketing the space. It was a whole lot of fun and a great way to look at retail opportunities whilst raising funds for this incredible platform which supports mental health.’
