Loopey Launching 20th November 2-5pm - Hornsey Vale Community Centre.

Welcome to Loopey. Like most mamas I kept bags and bags of vacum packed clothes for baby number two, not really giving much thought to if I'd be able to have another baby, if it would be the same s*x or born at the same time of year. I was so precious (admittedly) about buying things for my beautiful baby girl, she was my first and hard to get, so I didn't give a huge amount of thought about buying her clothes. But she grew so fast and quickly that she barely had time to wear anything. I ended up being overwhelmed by baby items and when I was lucky enough to finally have another baby, it was a boy, born in summer where my daughter was spring, so much of the saved items simply didn't fit.

I have become so conscious of waste and frustrated at the lack of opportunity to try and reduce my own personal output. While living in a part of the city with so many children wanted I wanted to look at ways to help create a circular fashion movement focused on children. So came up with the idea of loopey a children's clothing library where parents could rent bundles of clothes for little ones and return them as they grow.

Loopey also gives parents a platform to sell their clothes whilst taking all the hasssle away. Parents simple package up the items they'd like to sell in a paper pre -paid bag, send it in, we send back a guestimate for sale price and we list the items for you. We take a percentage from items sold which helps us with the running costs of loopey.

By sharing items we love and selling items we no longer need, we prolong the life of each item, helping the planet and pockets all at the same time. Loopey will run in collaboration with Hornsey Vale Community Centre.

Reuse. Re-share . Re-love.
