Hi Everyone,

As many of you know, JumbleTowner Unapam has been a long-term supporter of the site, both in her Giving and Taking, and also in her many inspiring posts in the Before & After forum. In fact, over the years, her refurbishing escapades and re-purposing & upcycling projects have attracted a lot of media attention and she has very kindly agreed to be interviewed for several articles, thereby helping to bring JumbleTown to greater public attention.

A few years ago, Unapam got involved in organising large-scale "Fashion Swap Shops" -- hugely popular "green 'n' thrifty fashion" events that were held around twice a year, in Dublin and (I think) one or two other locations, with part of the proceeds going to charities such as St. Michael's House.

And so, I'm delighted to give a big shout out for her latest green 'n' thrifty endeavour --
"Wear it Again, Sam" -- probably Ireland's first pre-owned clothing trade-in shop. It's located in the New Mother Redcaps Market, off the Malahide Road, Coolock (just behind Lidl/Woodies), in Dublin (Thur to Sat 10am to 5.30pm & Sun 12 noon to 5.30pm).

Here's how it works:

Choose something from your wardrobe that is in very good, or new condition, that you no longer have (or never had) a use for;

Choose an item of clothing from the rails and get 20 to 50% discount at the cash desk by trading in your item and paying the balance;

If you just want to buy good quality items for great prices - just buy them straight off the rails - prices start at just €3.

Women's and Men's clothes, shoes, accessories and costume jewellery are stocked.

Unapam refers to her latest project as "guilt-free shopping in a recession free zone, which is good for your wardrobe, your wallet, and the environment."

Finally, Unapam likes to keep things Green, so if you pop-in, it would be great if you brought your own shopping bag. Also, she'd gratefully accept all donations of wooden hangers and paper shopping-bags to save on costs and resources.
