\"Cardiff

With Cardiff home to some of the best vintage stores in Wales, a pop-up shop is selling fashion forward hand-me-downs by the kilogram.<\/p>\n

The Vintage Kilo Sale Cardiff, brainchild of clothes enthusiast Kizzy, host regular pop-up events across the city in order to embellish locals with Hawaiian shirts and fur coats.<\/p>\n

Although the company was only established this year, Kizzy has been buying 3 tons of vintage and second hand clothing<\/a> every 6 weeks from distributors in America and Europe in hopes of turning a profit.<\/p>\n

The company have planned to finish off the year with pop-up events in both Cathays Community Centre and St Catherine\u2019s Church Hall.<\/p>\n

\"Cathays

Kizzy maintains that the events have been popular with people from all walks of life. She said: \u201cWe don\u2019t have a target audience as such, we get a wide variety of people coming to our events a lot of students, young professionals, people who do a lot sewing or use the fabric for other uses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company, which recently moved to Cardiff from Bristol, plans to flourish through focusing on high quality clothing and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Kizzy has found that importing clothes from other countries works out cheaper than buying from UK based companies. She claims that it is more efficient to bulk-buy clothes sold weight, instead of searching through individually priced items of clothing.<\/p>\n

Bud Harper, manager of Cathays Community Centre, is proud to provide a platform for local businesses to start and grow. Bud maintains that events such as this invite more people to engage with other events taking place in the centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cHiring out our space to events such as the kilo sale brings in the funds that enables the charity to operate and deliver other social projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Details of upcoming events can be found on their Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
