Savvy shoppers are invited to celebrate the 30th birthday of fashion brand, AllSaints, on World Homeless Day which takes place on Thursday 10 October.
The charity is working with AllSaints to host sustainable fashion events in 30 Shelter shops – including 11 situated in Scotland.
AllSaints is donating 5,000 pieces of quality womenswear, menswear and accessories to the charity. These will include one of a kind pieces, samples and items from past collections.
In addition Shelter will promote their “Best of Shelter Scotland” items – some designer and vintage pieces chosen for the event. There will be one Golden Ticket item in each store which is taking part – these are AllSaints gems hidden for shoppers to discover.
These Edinburgh branches will be taking part and those in Morningside and on Forrest Road will have DJ sets on the launch day.

Alison Watson, Director of Shelter Scotland, said: “We are really delighted to be partnered with AllSaints, and to be part of their 30th birthday celebrations. We’re grateful for their ongoing donations and the support of their teams nationwide. This event feels extra-special and we can’t wait to see what our customers make of it.
“With record levels of homelessness, rising rents and more and more children forced to grow up without a safe home, our charity shops have an important job to do. Every time you shop with Shelter Scotland, you are supporting our fight for home.”
Catherine Jobling, COO of AllSaints, said: “We are passionate about making sure our brand is a force for positivity and change, and working with Shelter Scotland/Shelter is an important part of that. This year is particularly special for AllSaints as we celebrate our 30th anniversary and we wanted to celebrate in ways that felt significant and genuinely meaningful. We’re really looking forward to seeing people enjoying discovering items in store.”
