Dress for Success, an organisation that supports women to get jobs and financial stability is holding its first ever pop-up shop in Porirua. Don’t miss out on your chance to get some quality pre-loved workwear at bargain prices, while also supporting a good cause.
The items on sale will be mostly corporate, work-friendly attire, but there will also be some nice jeans and a few casual clothes, all in very good condition. All the clothes are pre-loved, although occasionally there are brand new items in the mix. They will also have a wider range of accessories for sale such as handbags, shoes, jewellery and scarves.
The pop-up shop will be at 7 Serlby Place in Te Manawa from 27 – 29 February and all proceeds will go to the Wellington branch of Dress for Success.
Phillipa Wells, Executive Manager at Dress for Success in Wellington says that they are passionate about helping women get ahead and succeed.
They also help women with clothes for other occasions where a good impression is important such as house viewings, court appearances, community re-integration, graduation, relatives of the graduate and other official events.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker says the service is a fantastic way to empower women just starting out in the workforce or getting back on their feet and looking to become financially independent.
“I remember clearly how daunting it could be going to interviews as a young single mum – so it really helps your confidence to know you’re looking professional and making a good impression.”
