🙋🏾♀️ As I celebrated my 31st birthday yesterday, one of my wishes was to connect with an eco-friendly or sustainably-focused brand for a Secondhand September event.
Fun fact: My outfit yesterday was styled by my younger sister, Selysia Lewis, and had been tucked away in a box in my storage unit. I actually bought it from Vinted last year—talk about living and breathing sustainability! Growing up, I frequently visited markets with my mum and sisters, and I still love discovering treasures at markets and charity shops.
Beyond delivering sustainably-focused gardening workshops, cooking classes and dining experiences at my venture, The Barefoot Planter. We curate experiences to capture key climate, sustainability or nature-related moments throughout the year.
Since moving house last year, I've been eager to declutter and sell some of my stored items. I often joke about wanting to join a car boot sale, but there's just one hitch—I don't have a car or a license! 😂
Instead, I'm excited about the idea of hosting a pop-up preloved and secondhand clothes event this September. If you're interested in partnering, please reach out to me at [email protected].
For our Sustainable September event, I'm seeking the following partnerships but open to other ideas:
- Venue partners, such as warehouses, members clubs, bars, or market stalls.
- Sponsored products from no- or low-alcohol brands, as well as, food companies that are passionate about zero-waste and have biodegradable packaging.
- Business owners of secondhand, preloved, or vintage selling platforms.
- Tech startups that offer non-cash payment systems that are suitable for pop-up events (such as SumUp, Square and Zettle by PayPal).
