#SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale 2026

10th Anniversary of the chicest car boot sale ever

The #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale returned to Selfridges car park in Central London on Saturday, 16th May for its tenth anniversary year.

The 2026 event raised over £430,000 for women and girls affected by war. This milestone brings our total to over £2.6 million raised since 2016 — a decade of coming together with this iconic event to support women rebuilding their lives against unimaginable odds.

Shoppers joined us to browse car boots filled with new, past-season, vintage and pre-loved designer fashion donated by luxury brands, designers and fashion and beauty insiders – all at exceptional prices! It was truly a day of guilt-free shopping, with 100% of the proceeds going towards our work supporting women survivors of war.
