Becky's Bazaar began on Depop and has a huge following on social media
We are in the midst of a sustainable clothing revolution - and a young entrepreneur is driving it with a stall in Liverpool's premier destination for vintage clothes.
Becky began ravaging charity shops and car boots sales for bargain buys, showcasing her finds on social media and reselling them on clothes app Depop. She counts a leather Red Bull NASCAR jacket as one of her best finds, as part of her fascination with racing themed clothes. With this, Becky has become a champion of car boot sales and second hand clothes generally, welcoming a "new generation" that is reusing old clothes. She said: "There is a stigma that car boot sales, or second hand clothes in general, are dirty and, and you can't wear them anymore. But in reality they're actually a lot cooler, in my opinion, than normal high street, fast fashion clothes.
Becky relishes her own "little space", establishing a connection with customers not replicated when selling online. She said: "There's nothing better than seeing people come into the stall, pick up a jacket and they're like, 'wow, this is amazing'. That feeling's just incredible." She added: "I wake up every day and I can't believe that this is kind of my job and I'm having so much fun doing it. It's a lot of hard work, don't get me wrong. But yeah, I love it and it's such a passion for me."
