What to do in Glasgow this weekend
Shop sustainable fashion at this must-visit fashion pop-up
Step into the world of sustainable fashion at the ‘Unfolded’ pop-up shop in Princes Square, Glasgow. Founded by Cally Russell, who famously turned down a chunk of investment from the dragons on BBC’s Dragon’s Den, the Edinburgh-based brand is offering Glasgow shoppers a chance to explore its waste-free, affordable clothing collections in person.
During the pop-up, visitors have a unique opportunity: trying on the new collection, which will then be custom-made and sent within 4-6 weeks. This allows you to check the fit and experience the amazing quality first-hand. Unfolded only starts production once customers place orders, ensuring minimal waste and exceptional craftsmanship.
Don’t miss this chance to support an Edinburgh-based company making positive changes for our planet. The pop-up is running from 10am to 6pm on Saturday, February 24th, and from 11am to 5pm on Sunday, February 25th.
