Oxfam’s new ‘superstore’ in Oxford is making waves in the fashion industry by tapping into the ethical trend of secondhand shopping. With the resale market booming and consumers becoming more eco-conscious, the store offers a unique shopping experience with a strong ethical foundation.
Spanning over 18,500 square feet, the store showcases a diverse range of designer labels and popular brands, including Gucci, Michael Kors, Swarovski, and Victoria Beckham. Managed by a dedicated team of 150 volunteers, the ‘superstore’ is Oxfam’s largest store worldwide and sets the stage for potential future expansions.
In addition to promoting sustainable fashion choices, Oxfam has launched a campaign encouraging people to participate in ‘Secondhand September’ by refraining from buying new clothes for the entire month. This initiative aligns with the charity’s mission to raise awareness about the environmental and ethical impact of fast fashion.
The store also features a drive-through donation drop-off area and a community space, providing a convenient and engaging shopping experience for customers. With a focus on ethical and sustainable practices, Oxfam’s ‘superstore’ aims to inspire a shift towards conscious consumerism and responsible shopping habits.
