All good things must come to an end and, sadly, the time has come for b.kinda clothing to say farewell. No order will be accepted after Monday 4 March 2024. 

Our mystery pre-loved clothing boxes, launched two years ago, have proved incredibly popular with forward-thinking fashion lovers who care about the environment and enjoyed the surprise that each sustainably packaged b.kinda parcel delivered to the doorstep.

The ambitious, eco-conscious idea behind the enterprise was to clear surplus stock kindly donated to charity and save it from landfill, while at the same time raising funds to support the incredible work of St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth.

With sharp rises in the cost of living over the last couple of years, people have been changing the way they shop. Business has been booming for St Luke’s high street shops across Plymouth and surrounding areas of Devon and Cornwall as customers opt to purchase more good condition second-hand clothing instead of new.

That welcome bonus for the shops inevitably led to a shortage of stock reaching b.kinda, especially the most popular sizes and colours, making it difficult to fulfil orders in a timely way. The crunch point was reached when our high level of service was impossible to maintain, while our costs remained the same.

We are proud of what we have achieved in a relatively short period, offering fashion that’s great for people, planet and purse. We have stopped 40,000 garments ending up on rubbish tips and sent out more than 11,000 orders to 9,000 customers across the UK.

We’d like to thank all our wonderful customers for all their support and reassure anyone with an outstanding order that we will do our best to fulfil it. If that is not possible, we will issue a full refund.

With love
