Pre-loved for the Primates
- Words by Peppermint
If you’re the kind who goes ape for a bargain, then you’ll love the pre-loved clothes, shoes and jewellery sale this Saturday at Melbourne’s Kindness House. And, just like the name of the building suggests, you’ll be acting in kindness by shopping there – all profits from the event will go to the Australian Orangutan Project to help their primate pals. So don’t monkey around – swing on in to 288 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, between 11am and 4pm this Saturday, August 13.
