KILO SALES… and how to navigate them Events in Manchester, United Kingdom

Kilo Sales are a great way of getting into second-hand shopping. Not only is there a wide range of clothing hand-picked by the best, you are getting it at a considerably lower price. Upon arrival you will be given a clear plastic bag to fill with all the clothes you wish to purchase.

REMEMBER – ‘the more it weighs, the more you pay.’

Typically, most Kilo Sales has a price of £15 per kilo. Meaning every item, regardless of brand is priced by weight. For example, you could buy up to five items (give or take, depending on the piece of clothing) for £40.

That averages at £8 per piece compared to one pair of jeans from River Island at £45 RRP!

So, snap up those one-off pieces before somebody else does. ‘If you snooze you lose!
