A Shrewsbury woman who left her abusive partner behind has triumphed over personal tragedy to open a shop and give something back to domestic abuse charity.
Described as a 'remarkable woman', Lizzie Sutton will be opening her brand-new vintage fashion store Shelovedpreloved at The Darwin Shopping Centre in Shrewsbury on Saturday.Lizzie created the brand and is focused on changing people’s perceptions of buying secondhand clothes.
"Following the brave decision to leave her abusive partner in 2019, she realised she had to start again and make a living. She wanted to have her own business and worked within several charity shops initially, gathering knowledge of the retail industry and how to run a shop." "She has created a giving element to her store called Shop Purple Collection,where the public are encouraged to donate second-hand purple clothing. Lizzie then cleans and repairs items to sell within the store – all funds raised are then passed to Domestic Abuse Support Services."
"Once cleaned and repaired my items look virtually brand new and for a fraction of the cost. It is also a socially responsible way to shop by helping to support the environment and reduce landfill.
