Happy Monday lovelies 💕
Today non-essential/retail stores open including some of my favourite sustainable and ethical spaces in London 🤩
(Ahhhh the thrill of lockdown restrictions easing...finally!)
These are mostly small local boutiques, each providing their own take on vintage, secondhand, repurposed, upcycled, sustainable, ethical, independent brands and so much more ! Check them out, support them if you can, they need you and will appreciate you more than the big fast fashion brands will 😀
Can’t lie I’ve missed visiting and browsing these shops, finding the occasional gem or just getting style inspirations 🙌🏾
I’m coming for ya!
