To celebrate the launch of Bouchic and the arrival of this international fashion trend on South African shores, shoppers will be able to grab a sneak preview of the sale at a gala cocktail party hosted by TV and radio celeb Liezel van der Westhuizen.
“I wanted stylish designer gear for myself and my children, but didn't want to pay a fortune for it. I also knew how many impulse buys were tucked into the back of my cupboard, sometimes still with the labels on,” said Shelly Pitcher, MD of Bouchic. “And so the Bouchic Pre Loved Sales were born - a way to de-clutter and recycle my unused clothes, shoes and accessories, and also stock up on great new items - all at super-affordable prices.”
1. Clear out your and your children's cupboards of any never-worn or lightly-worn designer and fashion clothing.
2. Contact Shelly on +27 (0) 72 403 9039 or by 25 September 2009 to arrange collection of the clothes before the sale.
3. Come along to the sale and stock up on stunning new outfits, shoes and accessories for you and your children.
4. A few days later receive your share of the proceeds from the sale of the clothes you contributed.
