Focused on sustainability within the ‘slow’ apparel and interior furnishings trade, All Small Things are pre-owned goods specialists selling only recycled things.
We don’t compromise on quality or style, guaranteeing realistic prices everyone can afford – buying new isn’t always an option or necessarily better value. We have everything from designer to high street, antique to unique.
Inspired by the fashion industry, we style vintage and contemporary furniture and decorative items, producing statement jewellery made only from reclaimed materials and customised clothing and accessories. Also, our Touch of Pink Collection that launched in March is raising money for a local charity.
Not everybody can travel easily or has access to the internet, so we assist the community and don’t apply any charge when helping source or collect usable unwanted household items – people just need to connect via our ethical buying supporters list.
We welcome anyone to volunteer for work experience in the various areas of our developing business. For example, last Christmas we made wreaths and our own creative decorations using off-cuts donated by a local tree-surgeon, originally destined to be burned.
