Stanwells Re-run (or cheaper chic)

01st December 2011

Up until a few weeks ago, Stanwells hadn’t even entered on to my radar, and it was even more recent than that when Stanwells Re-run entered my shopping scene. As someone who is confined to shopping on the highstreet, whilst dreaming of owning a few designer brands dotted here and there, a site like re-run is the ultimate solution (with bonus ethical karma!)

“This is the place to find your fashion treasures at a fraction of the original price. So very nearly new and discounted new designer clothes. All garments are sourced by ourselves and only come from the very best homes!
Designers such as Temperley, Milly, Juicy Couture plus accessories from Louis Vuitton, Gucci and many more…
Menswear too from Hugo Boss, Armani, Duchamp, Etro to name a few.
All guaranteed authentic and no fakes with an accurate re-sale value of goods gained from our many years fashion retail experience at Stanwells of Lymington and Westbourne (www.stanwells.com)
Stanwells Re-run was born after owner Julia Aitken realised many of her existing boutique clients were able to offer their clothes for re-sale. This unique website provides you with best nearly new designer merchandise and regular drops of discounted new designer clothes at the touch of your finger tips”

The timing of this post came about after some idle browsing led to discovering a fresh drop of designer goodness on the site…my top picks (or, the ones I’ll fight you for!)

From top to bottom:

1. Olivia Rubin Ada Print dress, £81 (originally £270)
2. Halston Heritage blue tie waist dress, £60 (originally £295)
3. Tibi leopard print dress, £80 (orignally £375)
4. Temperley London black skirt, £50 (originally £345)
5. See by Chloe blue shirt, £25 (originally £375)
Obviously stock and sizes are going to be limited, and once something has gone it’s gone…but with collections as recent as AW11 on there…and some dating back…you might get a recently lusted after piece, or stumble over something you wish you’d bought during it’s original season.

As well as the clothes, there are some gorgeous shoes available…and I do believe I spied a Chanel tweed jacket on there too!

Have you shopped with re-run before, or anything similar? I’d like to hear of your greatest finds!

    I love the Olivia Rubin dress! It is so pretty and the black rim around the top/bottom keeps it from being too busy. Shipping to my state would be super expensive though 🙁

    Some lovely pieces there but I’m tooooo excited that my Betty London black boots arrived today – I changed shoes mid-day to have them on, they are like old friends they are so comfortable.
