Here's how your old handbag can help St Vincent de Paul.

If you happen to have a Michael Kors, Coach or Kate Spade handbag that you'd just love to update, you're in luck because this Saturday you can donate said bag and receive a voucher in return. The Circle of Fashion, in association with Vincent de Paul, takes place in Brown Thomas, Grafton Street this Saturday and the first 500 customers to bring in their pre-loved handbags will receive a €50 voucher. This voucher can then be redeemed towards a new handbag from the current Michael Kors, Kate Spade or Coach collections.

The event is an example of how Brown Thomas has shown a commitment toward sustainable fashion, by allowing customers the opportunity to recycle their much-loved accessories and help an important charity at the same time. We imagine there will be plenty of ladies hoping to handbag donate at the Circle of Fashion this weekend so if you're interested, we'd advise getting there early. In the interest of fairness, it's one bag per person too and if you're free this Saturday, it could be a fun event with friends, maybe even follow with some brunch, the perfect weekend activity. The pre-loved bags do not need to have been purchased in Brown Thomas but they must be clean, fully functional, in good condition and fit for re-sale with The Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

The aforementioned voucher is valid to redeem in-store at Brown Thomas Dublin on Saturday, September 7 2019, and any unused vouchers will be null and void after this date.
