Sustainable retail concept All Good Things secures £2.5m investment
All Good Things said its partnerships provide a sustainable, physical home for fragmented stock, as well as pre-loved clothing returned by customers for recycling
All Good Things, the independent retailer that exclusively sells pre-loved, fragmented or repaired clothing, has secured a £2.5m equity investment.
Funding has been provided by Souter Investments, in conjunction with a broad base of experienced retail industry alumni, including Ben Barnett (former CEO, TFG London), Helen Williamson (former MD, Whistles), Charlie Atterton (former CEO, Jigsaw), John Egan (former CEO, Dune) and Lee Harlow (former MD, TFG London).
Over the last 12 months, All Good Things has partnered with over 200 fashion brands from the UK and Europe seeking to build greater sustainability into their supply chain.
All Good Things said these partnerships provide a sustainable, physical home for fragmented stock, as well as pre-loved clothing returned by customers for recycling.
With the new investment, All Good Things will be able to bring its successful concept to a wider audience.
All Good Things is chaired by Ben Barnett, former CEO of the TFG London portfolio of brands (Hobbs, Whistles and Phase Eight) and led by an experienced management team comprising; Karen Fuller (former Retail Director of premium British fashion brand Jigsaw), Keith Bristow (former Head of Global Media Networks at BT) and Sonia Chopra (former Senior Buyer at Brand Alley).
Keith Bristow, CEO of All Good Things, said: “The growth of All Good Things has been a labour of love for the team. Establishing a new, sustainable retail concept has involved a considerable journey, and one for which we owe a debt of gratitude to our forward-thinking brand partners, who have over-turned convention and built us proactively into their supply chain.”
Karen Fuller, Retail Director of All Good Things, added: “I am truly delighted with the response All Good Things has received in store. Customers repeatedly tell us they are looking to build sustainability into their wardrobe but frankly don’t know where to start. Our curated collections of premium, ethical and pre-loved clothing brands, ordered by size and delivered in a beautiful, contemporary environment, really seems to resonate.”
