The evening of 10th September saw the second annual CAFT Preloved Fashion Show. At the beautiful Owen House Wedding Barn, kindly donated for the evening, nearly 100 gathered to enjoy this unique ethical fashion show.
With a bespoke collection of preloved clothes from our charity shop on Canute Place in Knutsford, supported by donations from Debenhams Group, all guests had the opportunity to shop the CAFT stall to pick up a bargain priced piece of clothing, footwear and accessories. Local boutique stalls joined CAFT including SOS Clothing, Vintage Glow, Tropic Skincare, Vivienne Charvill Reflexology and BibieMJay Jewellery.
Guests experienced a live fashion show, hosted by Lucy Norris from Secondhand Styling and modelled by five CAFT employees & Trustees, showcasing fabulous second-hand fashion finds.
The event was purposely paired with second hand September and was timed perfectly with the revamp of our shop, lead by Freya Salway, assistant Ruth Dobson and a host of wonderful volunteers through the week.
You can visit the CAFT charity shop at 4 Canute Pl, Knutsford WA16 6BH
