Virtual Car Boot Sale 2020

Our very first Virtual Car Boot Sale was a phenomenal success! The seven-hour fashion extravaganza, supported by DS-Automobiles, raised an incredible  £77,184 for women survivors of war.

Born from the creativity and passion of the much-loved annual #SheInspiresMe Car Boot Sale, which was unable to take place this year in May as planned, this new online initiative was an opportunity to stay connected and raise funds for Women for Women International's work with women survivors of war during this pandemic. The impact of the pandemic is being felt all around the world, but it’s further amplified in war-torn countries where poverty, conflict and gender discrimination make the women we serve most vulnerable to infectious diseases.

Joining our host Alex Eagle were over thirty-five fashion icons, designers, style influencers and coveted brands who came together as a community to delve into their wardrobes and collections by cherry-picking their favourite items to donate. It was a guilt-free fashion extravaganza and an alternative to fast fashion, giving clothes a second life and supporting the circular economy.

100% of the proceeds from the Virtual Car Boot Sale will go towards our work supporting women living in some of the world’s most dangerous places.  

Thank you so much for everyone who was able to join us, and for putting the power of kindness, innovation and sisterhood into action. Watch this space for details of another Virtual Car Boot Sale later in the year.
