Edinburgh shoppers <\/a>gathered in a huge queue outside of a Stockbridge charity shop in anticipation of a January launch event on Saturday, January 3. For the last 22 years, Shelter Scotland has run its legendary January Stockbridge new year launch and this year was no different.<\/p>\n

Featuring a range of collectable <\/a>items up for grabs, including Valentino and Jimmy Choo, it’s no surprise collectors and fashion fans alike flocked to the Raeburn Place store.<\/p>\n

Every year, staff and volunteers at the Stockbridge shop <\/a>offer up a huge range of some of the most thrilling and intriguing items donated over the course of the last 12 months.<\/p>\n

Shoppers <\/a>had a chance to get their hands on Valentino and Jimmy Choo footwear, silk scarves by Liberty, and designer clothing from brands including Hobbs, Jigsaw, Brora, Ralph Lauren, Barbour, and All Saints.<\/p>\n

And for the vintage lovers, there was a large selection of Victorian jewellery, a Georgian Hallmarked silver condiment set, and a mid-century collective tea set including Susie Cooper and Poole.<\/p>\n

Shelter Scotland Director, Alison Watson, said: \u201cFor more than two decades now the Shelter Scotland\u2019s January Stockbridge launch event has been marked in the calendars of Edinburgh\u2019s discerning shoppers.<\/p>\n

\u201cScotland\u2019s housing emergency now means there are more than 10,180 children in Scotland with nowhere to call home and without urgent long-term action, homelessness will rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour support keeps us in the fight against homelessness, so ahead of this exciting event I\u2019d like to thank all our customers and donors for their generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Images of the launch event showed groups of people waiting in line for a chance to get themselves some designer gear.<\/p>\n

Before the event, Shelter Scotland Stockbridge Shop Manager, Peter Jew, added: \u201cI can\u2019t wait to welcome all our customers to our legendary event in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the 23rd year, we are showcasing and celebrating our donations. We\u2019re immensely grateful to everyone who contributed, and I’m not surprised a bit that it grows every year as our donors are very generous.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who queue outside are always in for a massive treat with exciting quality finds everywhere around the shop. It is a great opportunity to grab something special while supporting Shelter Scotland in the fight against the Housing Emergency.<\/p>\n
