Patrick Grant Instagram – In just over a week’s time we will be back at the brilliant @weinventedtheweekend Festival in Salford, a joyous celebration of the workers of the north of England fighting for, and winning the right to, two days off work each week. This year we’ll be running our own Big Community Jumble Sale, selling second hand CC clothes, slight factory seconds, shoot samples, studio samples and various other pieces we have unearthed at the various factories we work with. Its all brilliant stuff, and will all be sold for about a quarter of what a new version would cost you. Its all part of our mission to make good clothes available to all, and to remind us all that great quality clothes will last a very long time, and will get better with age. We need to make big changes to the way we consume. We need to buy less, buy better and move from the destructive linear make-use-dispose model, to a beneficial climate and people positive circular use-reuse-repair-recycle-repeat model.
We look forward to seeing you and to giving a good home to all this great clobber.
The Big Community Jumble Sale will be located in the Hot House building, on the MediaCity Piazza (the big glass one!). Our opening hours will be 10 – 5 on Saturday and 11 – 5 on Sunday.
@houseofbooksandfriends will be joining us there from 10 – 4 on Saturday. You can buy a copy of LESS and get it signed by @patrickgrantism on the day.
