we are. sustainable fashion pop-up shop

This summer, try sustainable fashion - we are. is a new chain of pop-up shops, selling 'second-life' fashion from the 1960s to the 2000s for just £20 per kilo.

we are. is making a statement and redefining how we shop and what we shop for. Leading the ‘fashion revolution’, we are. is giving clothes a new lease of life through kilo sales and up-cycled clothing events across Devon and Cornwall this summer. Find big brands for pocket-friendly prices.

In today’s fast-fashion world, 11 million pieces of clothing end up in landfill each week. By buying pre-loved clothes, up to 113 billion litres of water - and the equivalent of taking 500,000 cars off the road in carbon emissions - could be saved if each person bought just one item of second-hand clothing. That’s why we are. is on a mission to provide a new and exciting way to shop for loved brands, all at an affordable price.

The summer tour kicks off on 31st July at Truro Cathedral before travelling on through Devon and Cornwall, visiting The Poly on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th August. 

Stock is refreshed throughout the day and after each stop-off, so everyone has the opportunity to find something new that they love. To top it off, we are. also offers alterations, so you can ensure your ultimate find fits to perfection. 

Tickets are free, and timed visiting slots can be booked in advance to ensure there'll be no overcrowding. 

Book your free slot at www.weare.shop or eventbrite.
