LYDIARD Street’s new boutique store offers a groovy way to support a good cause.

Found by Cafs is a pop-up designer, vintage, and quality second hand clothes and collectables shop which is raising funds for Cafs’ Thread Together program.

CEO Wendy Sturgess said the boutique is a project the organisation has been keen to launch for a long time.

“Supporting Found by Cafs is shopping with a conscience,” she said.

“We’re giving new life to old items that may have gone to landfill, and directing those funds back into a program that supports the most vulnerable people in our community.

“What’s not to love? It is very exciting seeing the vision finally come to life.”

Found by Cafs volunteers found Louboutin shoes and Gucci clothing while curating the boutique.

Cafs seed-funded the Thread Together Clothing Hub in Ballarat, where vulnerable people in need of a new, clean, warm set of clothes and footwear can come and access brand-new pieces from quality labels.

Social and welfare agencies send clients in need of fresh garments and shoes to the clothing hub to receive a brand-new full wardrobe, or any individual items, with styling and sizing assistance from the store’s volunteers.

Found by Cafs volunteers have chosen pieces to sell in the pop-up boutique, and in the process, have discovered some special quality treasures in ‘as new’ condition, like a pair of unworn Christian Louboutin shoes in their original box, and a Gucci bee jumper.

Found by Cafs is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm until the end of June at 43 Lydiard Street North.
