fancy a day out in stockport? here's how we would spend a full day here: RARE MAGS browse in this independent magazine & book shop. they have a great selection, including hard to find & international mags. they also serve coffee. STICKY FINGERS lunch time, i'm sure most people who live in stockport will recommend this spot to you! they have the best pastries i've ever tried, and also do an insane rueben sandwich, in a croissant?! it's great.   SQOUND need some funky homeware? go here. colourful, exciting and random. a bright orange coloured mid century homeware store in the underbanks. ran by 2 lovely guys and always new stuff in there! YON ORANGE finish the day off with a matcha. quiet and minimal vibes, the matcha comes with little petals on it, love. there's so many amazing independent businesses in stockport and things to do! where should we visit next?

ahhh it's finally here. it's not just any old month, its second hand september.   started by oxfam, this is an annual campaign to inspire buying second hand or donating your old clothing. read more about oxfam and their history here. working in the second hand clothing industry, it's crazy to see the amount of clothing in circulation. we don't even see the half of it. for us, it's important to encourage others to shop second hand. we've grown up shopping on apps like depop, ebay and vinted. it's so easily accessible these days and you can almost always find whatever you want! we'll be writing more blogs throughout the month, showing you our favourite vintage shops to buy from.   there's something so fun about finding an amazing vintage piece, that you know no one else will own. buying second hand is such a great way to express yourself and curate your own unique style. we try our best to keep clothes affordable, with the majority of our items being under £30. vintage should be kept affordable and for anyone to access.  if you wanna shop sweatstash this september, we sell second hand clothing and drop new items weekly on our website. also, make sure to take a trip to your local charity shop this month and see if you can donate anything you no longer use/need!
