At some point in the last few years, vintage fashion shopping has started to become a little less bargain-chic with scaled up price tags appearing on second hand clothes. However, there’s still one secret vintage pop up left on or radar-the Peter Pan Op shop summer sales.
For over 70 years, Sydney buyers with a social conscience have been returning twice a year to trawl through an array of top-end items at actual bargain prices. Even better is that all proceeds go to Barnardos Australia who endeavour to keep children safe from abuse and neglect.
Bag a guilt free bargain from the unique wardrobes of leading Sydney fashionistas. Vintage clothes, shoes, accessories as well as new designer wear and end of season stock will be available and flowing for purchase in the expansive Paddington Hall.
If you’re not much of a bargain hunter, there’s still something for you. Barnardos’ supporters Sass & Bide have once again committed to donating rare fashion treasures and samples from their latest collections.
To date, the sales have raised over 1 million dollars for leading child welfare charity Barnardos Australia. The Peter Pan Opportunity Committee is a volunteer group who raise money throughout the year to directly benefit vital programs and services.
Spend a little less on your summer wardrobe, find some eclectic pieces to break up chain store monotones and donate to a worthwhile cause.
