This fashion event, which is based around the swapping of quality second-hand clothes, raised more than 450 euros for the Lar Bom Samaritano children’s home in Alvor.
Fashion-based entertainment during the event included an Ann Summers lingerie show and three show and tell items; a fur coat, a pair of shoes and a dress, which were given away to women who were voted most suited to the item by those in attendance, as well as a raffle.
Those present were given advice throughout the event by the fashion duo Tuck Price and Nick Gaiger.
Suzy Turner, an organiser of the event, said: “The event exceeded our expectations and whole team is looking forward to planning the next one.
“I think everyone had a fabulous time and would like to say a big thank you to our sponsors, the Algarve Resident, the Hotel Garbe, local artist Anna Westwood and Vilar do Jardim Lda, as well as everyone else who was involved.”
