Smart Works Fashion Sales

Smart Works Fashion Sales are an iconic London experience

Our Fashion Sales help us raise vital funds that go directly to our 12 centres nationwide, allowing us to continue running our service for unemployed women in communities where our help is needed the most.

Items sold at Smart Works fashion sales are donated to us by our retail partners and supporters, including one of a kind vintage and limited edition pieces, samples, and collections of pre-loved items curated by our allies in the fashion industry.

See below for our upcoming fashion sales! We hope to see you there. #fashionasaforceforgood

Launched at the House of Lords, the 2023 Smart Works Unemployment Index investigated the experiences women face when looking for work and the unfortunate reality that the conditions under which they seek work are deteriorating. The 2023 Index analysed 3,784 conversations with women supported by Smart Works throughout that year.
