London-based brands Weekday and Beyond Retro work in collaboration throughout London, Sheffield, and throughout the Nordic region. There, Weekday will be selling a range of hand-picked options of archival vintage looks, pieces from small designers, and ready-to-wear looks.
This includes silhouettes such as vintage oversized blazers, premium denim designs, leathers, and footwear as well. Additionally, Weekday will be offering customers the option to bring in 10 seasonal items to sell within their stores on a 40% commission basis. The company will price up the items and pay those with the pieces that are accepted. They are looking for items that are "streetwear and premium brands, small designers, vintage and archive pieces, and stylists’ closet edits."
