Peter Pan Committee twice yearly SALE - mark your May diaries!

Some of you have heard me talk about the Peter Pan Committee  twice yearly clothing sale, held at Paddington Town Hall every May and October.  This long-running fund-raiser for Barnardos has been a "must attend" for me for some years now.  The ladies at the Peter Pan Committee set up their "pop-up" store for just three days, always Wednesday to Friday.


It's on again this May so lock these dates in, and be at Paddington Town Hall, corner Oatley Road and Oxford Street on:


Wednesday 25, Thursday 26 or Friday 27


Friday is always half-price day. There is always something good left on the Friday, but they pack up around midday so get there early if you are planning a clean sweep of the super bargains.


What can you expect to find there? They say vintage, but in reality there is not much vintage, whatever that is nowadays. It is mostly used, good quality, expensive or mid-range labels. There is also the chance you will find New With Tags designer clothing. 


The offerings include such labels as Armani,  Chanel, Sonia Rykiel, YSL, Sass and Bide, Ferragamo (to name a few), in a wide range of sizes.


This is where I purchased my much-loved Ferragamo raincoat for around  $200 - it probably cost around two grand originally.



For further details check out the rather drab Barnardos website, which belies the fashionable possibilities which lie in wait. I don't care if the website is dull - I love Barnardos, one of Princess Diana's most beloved charities, helping poor little children and families in trouble.
