SERVICE DETAILS
One of our most popular shops. Nestled closed to the green haven of the Meadows and University of Edinburgh buildings, with all of George IV Bridge's eateries on hand. This shop is usually stuffed full of on-trend finds, and ever-popular with local students.
You support sustainable fashion by picking up second-hand bargains at your local Shelter Scotland shop.
You can also donate any high quality used items you want to clear out and - if you'd like to - sign up to volunteer in the shop at the same time.
