Lockdown was tough for lots of businesses around the country, including charities such as Auckland’s Mercy Hospice, which relies heavily on its op shops for funding (23 per cent of its annual income, to be exact). But thanks to the internet and some quick thinking, Mercy Hospice is now bringing shoppers all over the country their fashion fix online. The online shop is organised by colour, style, size and “Made in New Zealand”, and looks anything but dusty and secondhand, so it’s an easy way to find pre-loved treasures – and a sustainable way to shop.
