Top tips for shopping at the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale
Plan your day at the chicest car boot sale ever
Whether you’re a seasoned car‑boot pro or a first‑time vintage treasure hunter, the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale is not your average shopping experience. With designer, vintage and pre‑loved pieces donated by some of the biggest names in fashion — all in support of women survivors of war — this is a day where style meets purpose. To help you make the most of every rail, boot and hidden gem, here are our top tips for shopping smart, shopping joyfully, and shopping with impact at the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale.
1. Look for the pieces you've always wanted
A Loewe bag? Chanel sunglasses? Jimmy Choo boots? This is your chance to find a designer bag, a chic pair of shoes or a luxury tailored coat at exceptional prices. Look out for classic pieces you've always wanted and ones that have iconic status. The feeling when you find the piece you’ve always lusted after is unbeatable!
2. Be open-minded
You can find some really unique and special pieces during the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale as much of it is pre-loved vintage and designer items. Some of the biggest names in fashion are opening up their wardrobe to donate special pieces, so this is your chance to own a piece of fashion history and splurge on something different. This is when you find the pieces you didn’t know you needed!
3. Treat yourself
100% of proceeds from the #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale will support Women for Women International, so this really is the ultimate guilt-free shopping experience. Your shopping will help women and girls affected by conflict rebuild their lives.
4. Know your size
There'll be pieces in UK, US and European sizing, so it's worth coming ready knowing yours! There are no changing rooms in the car park so knowing your size in US and European sizing will save you time with over 35 car boots to explore!
5. Do your research
A lot of the brands and amazing people who have donated will be posting teasers online ahead of the day, so make sure to take a look so you can draw up your shopping wish list. Don’t forget to follow @womenforwomenuk for all the last-minute updates and the fashion drops you don’t want to miss!
