'Merry Go Round' Luxury pre-loved shopping event

I apologise to readers outside of Victoria (Australia) in advance, as this blog post relates to a Melbourne event; an official MSFW (Melbourne Spring Fashion Week)'s luxury shopping event for pre-owned designer clothes.

Hosted by Miss Money Penny, an official Melbourne Spring Fashion Week event.





"Forget getting all hot and bothered wading through Op shops, markets and Ebay to get a great designer find. As you sip on a glass of bubbles, Miss Money Penny will put together a salon style showing of top end pre loved designer pieces whilst the team from Makeovers, Manicures and Martinis treat you to a manicure, massage and make-up consultation. You’ll also receive a styling consultation courtesy of Bronwyn Fraser from the Style Establishment. This is the smartest, fastest and most relaxing way to shop for items that are Brand New With Tags (BNWT), Just Slipped On or Vintage Designer fashion; for a fraction of the retail price. Like what you see? Then you can purchase items after the show. Even if you don’t find something you’d like to buy you’ll leave refreshed and revived from your pampering treatments and full of ideas for new ways to wear items already in your wardrobe."

When: Tuesday August 31, 6.00pm to 9.00pm
Where: The Longroom, Georges Building, 162 – 168 Collins St, Melbourne

Readers too far away to make it to the event, fear not, Miss Money Penny has an online 'designer retail emporium' where sellers can earn some extra cash by selling off their pre-loved (and in some instances unworn!) designer garments, and buyers can purchase second hand designer fashion at reasonable prices.

A selection from the collection chosen today include:






Dove grey and silver Moschino heels, Size 40, $190 (RRP US$485)

You can follow this fabulous blog for Green Fashionistas at www.recycled-fashion.com

Chuffed to be mentioned in O.K Magazine's recent eco Special Fashion Notes getting top billing in great company for the Vintage made Easy Fashion stores they LOVE!

It’s official you are a Recessionista. You want to look fabulous but how can you get the look without splurging? Maybe you need to hire a bag instead of buying one. Or maybe you need to clean out the wardrobe and sell a few things. Or maybe you just need to hit the Outnet and get your own Stimlus package.

Here are the best recession busting sites:

Wish to Wear Rent designer bags for weeks at a time. Chanel anyone?

Love Me & Leave Me is Australia’s premium online fashion service giving members the option to borrow or buy the latest fashion accessories from leading local and international designers.

Indian Giver A high fashion online store that allows you to borrow and return the latest looks…. It seems to just have Australian designers such as Camilla and Marc.

The Wardrobe Store A little daggy but it’s worth a look at the designer resale emporium with no Auctions: See it, Love it, Buy it. Plus you can donate to a charity.

Miss Money Penny is the smartest and fastest way to shop for new, near new, and vintage, women’s designer and Australian labels - for a fraction of the retail price.
