Jimmy Choo shoes up for grabs as Edinburgh charity shop hosts sale of 'rare treasures'
The sale attracts hundreds of shoppers from across the city every year.
A charity shop in Edinburgh has revealed the date of its annual January “extravaganza” which will see customers able to get their hands on some of the store’s most exclusive donations.
Shelter Scotland's Stockbridge shop is set to host its new year launch on Saturday January 3 with doors to open at 10am.
The sale, made up of “thrilling and intriguing items” donated over the course of the last year, has run since 2003.
Last year, the charity raised a record breaking £31,834 across its Stockbridge shop and bookshop.
Staff at the store have teased a few of the exclusive items set to appear at this year’s sale.
Fashionistas will have a chance to get their hands on Valentino and Jimmy Choo shoes, silk scarves by Liberty, and designer clothing from brands including Hobbs, Jigsaw, Brora, Ralph Lauren, Barbour and All Saints.
Meanwhile, vintage lovers will be able to choose from a large selection of Victorian jewellery, a Georgian Hallmarked silver condiment set, and a mid-century collective tea set including Susie Cooper and Poole.
A collection of musical instruments will also be on sale, including a Hohner Bass recorder for £100, an Autoharp for £60 and an Excelsior Viola for £200.
Shelter Scotland Stockbridge Shop Manager, Peter Jew, added: “I can’t wait to welcome all our customers to our legendary event in Edinburgh.
“For the 23rd year, we are showcasing and celebrating our donations. We’re immensely grateful to everyone who contributed, and I'm not surprised a bit that it grows every year as our donors are very generous.
“Those who queue outside are always in for a massive treat with exciting quality finds everywhere around the shop.
“It is a great opportunity to grab something special while supporting Shelter Scotland in the fight against the Housing Emergency.”
