Vintage with Love is Opening A Preloved Fashion Store in Joburg

Vintage with Love is bringing sustainable fashion to North for the opening of their first pre-loved clothing store in Johannesburg. The shop opens in June 2024 and will be their second retail space after launching in the Cape Town branch in 2023. Vintage with Love specialises in gently worn fashion in good condition, and all for a good cause.

Where to find pre-loved fashion in Johannesburg

Vintage with Love is a fresh new arrival on the fashion scene, with the team dedicated to ensuring a super-stylish selection of clothing in a beautifully appointed shop. The Johannesburg store will be situated just around the corner from Melrose Arch in the Crete House development. Secure parking at the back of the building means the shop is safe and accessible for shoppers.

“Curating gently worn fashion is a real art – but one that our team of fashion volunteers have perfected,” says Tracey van Gass, managing director of Vintage with Love.

“These ladies spend every Tuesday morning in our offices, sorting and pricing all the clothing donations to be sure we have the very best selection of gently worn fashion online and in-store.” “We take great pride in the fact that Vintage with Love is not a jumble sale or thrift store – it is a carefully curated collection of really cool fashion that we know is going to be flying out of the doors the minute we open.”

Tracey says the store is proud to tick two very important boxes in most people’s dreams to make the world a better place.

Fashion retail for positive change

All the profits from clothing sales go towards improving literacy in various parts of the country, plus keeping pre-loved clothing in circulation can help to reduce the amount of fashion waste that threatens the environment.

The Vintage with Love charity was launched in 2013 to raise funds for charities through the sale of gently worn fashion. Through a series of pop up sales and an online store, special events and the Cape Town shop, Vintage with Love has already raised more than R8-million to support a number of charities around South Africa.

Literacy charities such as Realema Teacher Intern Programme, Community Assisting Schools, Thandulwazi Maths and Science Academy and the Click Foundation are all beneficiaries.

Donate gently-worn clothes to Vintage with Love

Vintage with Love has been built on generous clothing donations from South Africans and friends around the world. The charity now also buys your gently worn fashion to sell for charity.
