DO GOOD pop-up boutique returns to Bicester Village in support of Smart Works

The DO GOOD pop-up is back at Bicester Village for the fourth year in support of Smart Works, the UK charity that "exists to empower all women who need help getting into work".

Running from 29 July to 25 August 2024, and forming part of The Bicester Collection, the pop-up will host a curated collection of new designer women’s ready-to-wear, jewellery, shoes and bags from brands including Frame, Varley and ALIGNE, along with pre-loved and vintage pieces from heritage French and British fashion houses.

Fashion insiders will also have the opportunity to raid donations "directly from the wardrobes of style trendsetters", including Jess Diner, Emma Rose Thatcher and Ebony Francis.

Additionally, customers will be able to see the tangible impact of their purchases, with 100% of the DO GOOD pop-up sales going towards empowering women to reach their full potential.

Much like those shopping in the boutique, clients of the Smart Works service can access a wide-ranging wardrobe in their centres during appointments, creating interview outfits they feel and look confident in – and outfits they can keep.

Chantal Khoueiry, Chief Culture Officer of The Bicester Collection, said: "As part of our global philanthropic programme DO GOOD, The Bicester Collection is delighted to welcome Smart Works back to Bicester Village for the fourth consecutive year.

"The DO GOOD x Smart Works pop-up represents our enduring commitment to supporting remarkable organisations generating a ripple effect of positive change."

Having supported over 35,000 women get into work, the Smart Works service has continued to expand across the UK since the partnership with DO GOOD was established.

Raising over £375,000 through the previous pop-ups, the vital funds have helped the charity open new centres across the UK, including its newest London centre in Croydon.

Tiffanie Darke, Acting CEO of Smart Works, said: "Our partnership with Bicester Village has been truly transformative, allowing us to double the number of women we support and raise vital funds for the Smart Works service.

"We are thrilled to be back for our fourth DO GOOD pop-up, using fashion as a force for good and empowering unemployed women to transform their lives."
