Kidswear Collective, the pre-loved and past-season designer consignment platform for babies and children, has teamed up with charity shop chain FARA Kids. The partnership will see Kidswear Collective donate any items that cannot be sold to FARA Kids, which will distribute them through its 14 London stores.

FARA runs 40 charity shops (22 adult stores, 14 children’s shops, two bookshops, a homeware store, and a vintage shop, Retromania) across 27 London communities. The funds raised through selling over 2 million donated items each year have, since 1991, helped over 15,000 vulnerable and disadvantaged children, young people and families living in Romania’s poorest communities.

At a time when charity shops are always in need of inventory, Kidswear Collective will provide regular shipments of stock throughout the year to ensure it is made available to FARA Kids’ customers.

 

 

Commenting on the partnership is Kidswear Collective founder, Shoshana Kazab.

“Ever since we launched, charity and supporting communities is at the heart of what we do. We have worked with various charities throughout the years and are particularly excited about the partnership with FARA Kids as a London-based charity shop chain. We see great synergy between the two brands and are looking forward to collaborating with them on other projects and fundraising activities throughout our partnership.”

FARA Foundation CEO, Libby Gordon, adds, “Our FARA Kids stores are a much-loved part of our wider FARA Charity Shops network, and we’re thrilled to have been asked to partner with Kidswear Collective. We both share a passion for circularity and extending the lifecycle of clothes and this collaboration will provide a wonderful addition of stock into our neighbourhood stores.”
