For ten years, Open Door Allerton has been one of Liverpool’s best-kept secrets. A hidden gem where fashion and purpose come together.
Tucked away in the heart of Allerton, the shop has always been about more than clothes. Every pre-loved gem, every vintage treasure, every donation made, helps to fund the vital work of The Whitechapel Centre, supporting people across the city who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
“This event is our way of celebrating the support the community have shown us over the last 10 years,” said Susan Ryder, Manager of Open Door. “We can’t wait to celebrate with our pre-loved fashion fans with and evening with plenty of sparkle, style, and bargains!
“And if you can’t make it to our birthday event, it’s always worth popping in another day. At Open Door Allerton, we restock daily with carefully curated rails of pre-loved fashion, designer labels, vintage finds, and beautiful everyday pieces waiting to be discovered.”
As we celebrate our 10th birthday, we are proud of what we have managed to achieve and the community we have manged to build. Curating styling, giving timeless pieces a new life, raising vital funds for those who need a helping hand and created a welcoming space where every purchase makes a difference. We couldn’t do this without our amazing team of volunteers, our customers and our donors who support with their good quality donations.”
Since opening its doors a decade ago, Open Door has been at the heart of Liverpool’s sustainable fashion. It is known for carefully curated rails and boutique styling. Their window displays have become part of what makes Open Door so special, described by one regular customer as ‘works of art that stop people in their tracks’. Every display is carefully styled by the team and volunteers, using donated pieces to tell a story, celebrate the season, or showcase sustainable fashion at it’s best.
