SPARKLY TEES
Transform an old top with sequins
THE SWISH SHOP can’t wait to fling open its doors to you! We're putting together a collection of preloved fashion and customised clothes that we hope you'll love.
So check back soon, knowing you're fighting climate change with every upcycled piece you buy. Even better, 50% of sales profits get zipped straight back into funding our sustainable fashion projects. It's a virtuous cycle, so let's never slam on the brakes (though you might want to hitch up your hems if you buy our refashioned princess dress. Ditto our palazzo pants...)
Whatever life throws at you, be your own label.
