Miss Forsyth Wants YOUR Bra!

I know that this seems like a strange title - why woud Perth's leading indie lingerie shop be asking for you to take your old bras to them? Surely they want you to walk in empty-handed and leave with some beautiful, new, well-fitted undies!  

Fear not! Jennifer and co haven't lost their Rigby and Peller marbles; they have set up a Bra Bank in their South Street shop and are helping in the fight against Breast Cancer.

Here's how sorting out your old undies and donating to the Bra Bank can help: 

1. Reduce textiles in landfill. Tick One!
2. Raise Funds for Breast Cancer. Tick Two!
3. Support local business in African countries. Tick Three!

Tick One. This is the no brainer. Landfill - Bad. Reducing textiles in landfill - Good. 

But how does Tick Two come about? Well, Against Breast Cancer has teamed up with BCR Global Textiles who will donate £1,000 to Against Breast Cancer research for every tonne of bras collected. In real money, that's only 9,000 bras. I reckon if your top drawer looks anything like mine we could do this in Perthshire alone!

Every kilo equals £1 and every £1 raised is vital in enabling Against Breast Cancer to continue their work in finding a vaccine against breast cancer as well as looking at ways to increase the survival of women and men who have the disease. 

Traders support their families selling textiles locally and successful ventures like this one are keeping many families in developing countries out of poverty.

 

So what are you waiting for? Get digging around at the back of that drawer and lets put Perth on the collection map. I honestly think we could raise 9000 bras! 

 

And of course, while you're in there you can always ask Jennifer and the team to give you a quick fitting and maybe have a little treat to yourself! I can feel a Bra Inspired #PerthLoveFest coming on!
