Where preloved fashion finds a second, third or forth life...

Our purpose is to keep clothing items out of landfill, through the practices of the circular economy.

An accident that turned into conscious change

The Circular Studio wasn't the original plan. The goal was to launch a fashion brand that reworked clothing. TCS was an accident, that surpassed every expectation.

Peak doom piles

The business was growing rapidly, and the doom piles of clothing were matching it. No system, 1 woman and a lot of determination.

Sell Out Events

This didn't come easy. We've tried and tested a lot of different systems, our affordable second hand clothing events are unlike any other in Wales.

Our Mission & Why we're so Passionate about what we do

Our mission is to not only re-think clothing and its next stages in life, but to offer clothing for all sizes and genders. We focus on teaching positive change to re-think you're unwanted items. Our sell out events are a great way to refresh your wardrobe while clearing out items you no longer wear.

THE IMPACT OF OUR SECOND HAND CLOTHING EVENTS

Our Events

Second hand clothing events that don't cost the earth but keep all type of clothing out of landfill and in the hands of our customers. We see all walks of life, come together to enjoy our organised events. And the best part? We've proven that those "fast fashion" items that typically don't have any value can still be reworn or re-purposed.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CLOTHING THAT COMES INTO OR EVENTS?
Resale
Good quality clothing ends up in resale. Our expert team carefully grades based on quality and condition. Items are handpicked based on in-depth market knowledge of the reselling landscape.
repurpose
As a small team we don't have the funds to the latest technology (we're working on it). So, we resourcefully re-purpose less desirable items that may take longer to resell...
Re-circulating
A mixture of fast fashion, high street as well as items that haven't resold over a certain period goes out to our Fill a Bag and £1 Warehouse events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here's how you can take action and become part of the circular revolution

  • 90% of our stock comes from our events and is re-circulated. 10% is then sourced or reworked.

  • We always recommend reselling your items if you believe they are of more value. Our credit exchange events are designed for people that don't typically have the time, struggle to se these apps, and or want a guarantee their clothing is kept out of landfill.

  • The cost of sorting far outweighs the reselling value of lower end items. For most organisations, it's not worth the sorting costs to sort through fast fashion, or high street items because of the volume of items.

    Our premium stock is curated for resale in order to help sustain the affordability of both our £1 and Fill a Bag events.

  • All new events can be found on our Events page, with dates, times and details. Tickets will be required for entry.
