Your wardrobe called. It wants to do something meaningful with love.
Written by: Mona-Sarah Braham Chaouch Save to Instapaper
Workshop17 have teamed up with Vintage with Love to prove that style, sustainability, and social impact belong in the same room. Vintage with Love sources the best pre-loved fashion to fund education in underserved areas.
“This partnership reflects who we are as a brand,” says Penelope Meniere, National Marketing Manager at Workshop17. “We design spaces for longevity and build with intention, so supporting an initiative that turns a pre-loved garment into a resource for a future leader feels entirely natural to us.”
A Shared Commitment To Conscious Consumption
The collaboration runs deeper than a shared aesthetic. Both organisations are built around conscious consumption: Workshop17 repurposes buildings and materials in its workspace design, while Vintage with Love extends the lifecycle of quality garments to reduce landfill and channel proceeds directly into South African education.
Community Engagement Through Purpose
Drop-off boxes for quality donated clothing are already in place at Workshop17 reception areas ahead of each event.
Meniere adds: “Our members are purpose-driven people. Giving them the chance to browse curated fashion where they work, knowing each purchase supports literacy programmes across South Africa, is exactly the kind of community engagement we want to bring into our spaces.”
