Oxfam Bold Street has closed its doors temporarily. The Liverpool flagship store sells second hand clothing, shoes, books, and other items, with the profits going towards fighting poverty and helping people in crisis around the world.
The Liverpool flagship store is set to reopen with a “bold new look and bigger fashion focus”. Situated on one of Liverpool’s best known streets, the charity shop is known for selling second hand high street clothing.
The ECHO has previously reported how the Bold Street store sells high street options at a fraction of their price, with one reporter finding £158 Reiss top for £13.
Head of Store Development at Oxfam GB, Matthew Burgess-Evans, said: “This isn’t just a shop refit—it’s a full reset.
“We’ve created a space that speaks to Oxfam’s values—modern, bold, and built around community and climate action. Bold Street has always had a strong student following, and we’re excited to welcome a whole new wave of customers this Freshers Week.”
The store will reopen on Saturday, September 13.
The newly refurbished shop will feature a large, expanded clothing section packed with high-quality donated pieces and standout vintage finds.
It will also have a refreshed media and book area, described as being “perfect for casual readers and curious minds alike”.
Oxfam will add “striking” in-store messaging and have a retail environment “designed to reflect sustainability, diversity, and collective action”.
Oxfam was founded in 1942 as the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief in response to the Allied blockade during the Second World War and famine in Greece.
After the war, its mission then worked to address global poverty, leading to the establishment of its first charity shop in Oxford in 1948.
Today Oxfam GB is part of a confederation of 21 Oxfams all over the world.
