Celebrities Recycle Clothing In Aid Of Eco-Conscious Shopping

The 'Mind' charity shop in Brighton has had a fashionable makeover thanks to donations of clothing by celebrities and students from the University of Creative Arts. In order to encourage a wider range of shoppers, the Brighton Mind shop has broadened its appeal to encourage eco-conscious fashionistas to try charity shop shopping.

Not only has the clothing range been overhauled, but the shop's interior has had a style makeover too, thanks to student designers from the University of Creative Arts. The design students have also created a range of clothing for the shop that have all been made using recycled materials.

Those hoping to purchase the celebrity threads as eco gifts for themselves or for their nearest and dearest, can enter a private bidding system. Celebrities who have donated items of clothing include Fern Britton, Norman Cook and Daisy Low.

Those eco-conscious shoppers who are not luck enough to live near the Mind shop in Brighton can get their hands on some fabulous eco gifts online. For example, the Naveh Milo bag range – a stylish collection of different sized bags, each one of which is constructed from natural and recycled materials.
