Lalla Bronshtein's Eco-Concious Sustainable Column: Charity shopping

We caught up with Lalla Bronshtein the TV Celebrity Stylist and Eco Designer Founder of Upcycled Eco-Friendly Brand LALLAXRR! To find out where we should be shopping for a guilt free conscience. 

Who is Lalla ?

I style Celebs for BBC to Channel 4 TV shows and also for Events and run Unisex Brand LALLAXRR, a brand where I take old pieces and give them a new journey, I feel up-cycling is so important cause there’s so much waste in the world! At LALLAXRR we believe in the importance of that ‘one of a kind piece’ that can be worn for every occasion from a party to a wedding to the office! It’s the kind of piece you are going to hold onto for years instead of a wear once then throw it to the back of the wardrobe to be forgotten about.  The brand was born from my love for charity shop finds and unique Vintage pieces! That’s why this months first Column is about my 5 favourite charity shops! To find catwalk copies for cheap! 

What can we expect form your column ?

Its a monthly fix of my favourite sustainable fashion pics and to kickstart the first Column, Here are my 5 favourite charity shops to find amazing catwalk pieces and bargain buys! 

1) All-aboard - Finchley Road - Gold Bum bag £9.00

My First Charity Shop is All Aboard its my Favourite Charity Shop to find those unique cheap pieces! 

Here you always find cool pieces! They sell a mix of vintage and second hand bits! Beginning of the year I found this Gold bum bag for £9.00 as seen here from off the catwalks!

2) Second Favourite has to be FARA in Belsize Park- I pop into FARA At least once a week as it always has amazing cheap bargains! I recently found this very on trend black PVC Bucket Hat  for the amazing price od £9.00

3) My Third favourite has to be Oxfam in Hampstead its a bit more expensive, but saying that you can find some designer gems for half the price!

I found some amazing knee length tight black boots for £24, perfect with any mini skirt or over some fitted trousers! A version of the boots Bella Hadid Rocked down the Catwalk! 

4) Charity shop number 4 has to be Marie Curie in Belsize Park!

If you want a total bargain this is the charity shop for you! I’ve bought anything from Topshop pieces for £10 to Unique Vintage Leather Jackets for £20!

I found this Long Brown Jacket in there recently, for £25 total catwalk copy for quarter of the price! And perfect for this time of year!

5) And for number 5! Its Mind Charity Shop in Finsbury Park  

Unfortunately I don’t go here much as its quite far from where I live but when I do go I always find a great bargain! When I last popped in I found these Black plastic trainers for £13!!

I was super happy to find them as I spotted models rocking theses trainers between shows at LFW back in September!  And they are perfect trainer to wear when its raining and cold!
