Luxury retailer [Harrods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-and-harrods) got into the holiday spirit by enabling consumers to purchase high-end clothes while supporting the [NSPCC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindt-sprngli), a long-time charity partner of Harrods at 'Fashion Re-told.'

This event, which is branded as “the world’s most [glamorous pop-up shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-2025-popup),” enables consumers, employees and brands to donate luxury clothing items to Harrods, resulting in names like Mulberry, Paul Smith and Rachel Riley being available for a fraction of its normal value. All of the proceeds from this event are donated in support of the NSPCC, a charity that's committed to ending child abuse in the U.K.

Fashion Re-told makes high-end clothes more accessible to the general public, and uses the valuable pieces to
incentivise people to support the cause.
