Charity Super.Mkt to open more pop-ups amid rising demand for secondhand clothes

Shop sites will include London, Edinburgh and Leeds, with young people driving preloved trend

The secondhand clothing pop-up Charity Super.Mkt is set to head to Edinburgh, Leeds, Sheffield and the heart of London’s Canary Wharf financial district as it opens a dozen more stores next year catering to a rise in interest in shopping for preloved items. Young people are driving the trend, led by sites such as Vinted and Depop, with one in five Britons having bought presents for friends or family from secondhand online marketplaces in the past. Wayne Hemingway, the former Red or Dead designer who has helped bring the project together, said Charity Super.Mkt’s large stores in prominent locations were vital to fly the flag for secondhand amid heavy competition from fast fashion.
