A wonderful idea
What sparked from a conversation between two Nottinghamshire mums has turned into something financially viable and fun. Instead of throwing clothes out, why not give them away because ‘second hand isn’t second best’ - that's their ethos.
“We were passing loads of children's clothes between each other and they still had loads of life in them so we decided to develop Little Peas Clothes Swap Shop. We had been to a few adults' ones together, and we came up with the idea and decided to give it a go.” Both Nicolette and Georgina, who work for their local council, make sure people leave with a gift for themselves and a child as part of the swap shop idea. When researching the concept, the pair found more 300,000 items of clothing go to landfill each year. At the Little Peas Clothes Swap Shop, you donate 10 items and take 10, so long as the clothes are undamaged.
