To celebrate the launch of Bouchic and the arrival of this international fashion trend on South African shores, shoppers will be able to grab a sneak preview of the sale at a gala cocktail party hosted by TV and radio celeb, Liezel van der Westhuizen. “I wanted stylish designer gear for myself and my children, but didn’t want to pay a fortune for it. I also knew how many impulse buys were tucked into the back of my cupboard, sometimes still with the labels on,” said Shelly Pitcher, managing director of Bouchic. “And so the Bouchic Pre Loved Sales were born – a way to de-clutter and recycle my unused clothes, shoes and accessories, and also stock up on great new items – all at super-affordable prices.”
