A time to celebrate

The first anniversary of the merger of Shop on Carroll and Shop on St Andrew is fast approaching and the retail team have achieved a lot in that time!

Bringing the two shops into the new location in Princes Street was no mean feat but the result has been incredible.

Because of the larger footprint, the new premises has become many more things than just a retail shop, selling vintage and retro clothing, jewellery, haberdashery, games, puzzles and ornaments.

It was also the perfect location for the 2024 Vintage Fashion Show with volunteers modelling vintage and retro pre-loved clothing that exemplifies the richness of decades of fashion.

Shop on Carroll’s jewellery-making workshops, using donated and damaged vintage jewellery, have been a huge sell-out success. Further community workshops and events, like our slow-fashion day celebrating weddings, and upcycling workshops will continue to become firm fixtures of the business.

“At Shop on Carroll two of our primary focuses are on inclusivity and sustainability,” says Fiona Dodds, retail co-manager.

Watch this space because there’s more to come!
