💛 Introducing Our Pre-Loved Millinery Marketplace 💛
Buy, Sell, or Donate Your Hats – and Support a Wonderful Local Charity Too!
We’re so excited to finally share something we’ve been working on behind the scenes for months… introducing the Beverley Edmondson Millinery Pre-Loved Marketplace! 🎉
Whether you’ve got a beautiful Beverley hat that’s been sitting in a box, or you’re on the hunt for something special (but also sustainable!), our new platform is the place to buy, sell or donate pre-loved millinery – and feel good doing it.
And to those of you who helped us trial it early – thank you so much! 💛
So, Why Go Pre-Loved?
Fashion’s changing – people want fewer things, better quality, and a little more meaning behind what they wear. This new part of our website lets you:
✨ Shop high-quality Beverley Edmondson Millinery at more accessible prices
♻️ Give your own hats a new lease of life by reselling them and earning some cash
🎗️ Donate your hats to raise money for an incredible local charity, Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care
It’s all about circular fashion – where things don’t just get worn once and forgotten, but keep being loved again and again.
💛 The Joys of Buying Pre-Loved Hats
✔️ Affordable Luxury – Grab a gorgeous designer piece for less.
✔️ Sustainable Choice – Help the planet while looking fabulous.
✔️ Something Unique – From vintage finds to retired designs – you never know what you’ll discover.
✔️ Support Local Care – Some listings raise money for Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care.
🧡 Got a Hat to Sell?
If your Beverley Edmondson Millinery hat has had its moment with you, don’t leave it boxed up! Someone else might love it just as much – and you can earn a bit back too.
Here’s what makes our platform extra special:
✔️ Free to List – No fees to get started.
✔️ Simple to Use – You don’t need to be techy. In fact here is a quote from one of our trial sellers:
‘I personally found the process easy (and I am not a computer expert!) and all of your instructions were clear to follow.’
✔️ Targeted Audience – Our customers are here for the hats!
✔️ Part of the Circular Fashion Movement – Feel good about passing it on.
🛠 How Selling Works
- Sign Up as a Seller – Just a quick form on our website.
- Wait for Approval – We check every seller for quality control.
- Read our Seller Guide – Everything you need to know about selling on our platform
- List Your Hat – Add photos, describe it honestly, and we’ll review your listing before it goes live.

- Receive your cash – Once marked as received by your buyer we will send you your cash – (we take 30% commission from each sale)
💡 Listing tips: show your hat from different angles (ideally on a head!), describe any flaws clearly, and tell buyers how it’s secured (elastic, comb, etc.).
🎗️ Want to Do Even More Good? Donate to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care
We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with Phyllis Tuckwell, a local hospice that provides end-of-life care and support for patients and families across West Surrey and North East Hampshire. We know that many of you locally, including my own family have been touched by this wonderful charity.
If you’d rather donate your Beverley Edmondson hat, we’ll handle everything else – from cleaning to photography to listing – with proceeds going to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice
How It Works:

📍 Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, 42 Invincible Road, Farnborough, GU14 7QT – FAO Louise
🧼 We’ll freshen it up and get it looking its best

🌍 Why Circular Fashion Matters
The fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to waste and environmental strain – but we can change that, one hat at a time.
By buying, selling, or donating pre-loved millinery, you help:
♻️ Keep beautiful things in use longer
🧵 Honour the craftsmanship that goes into each piece
🌱 Reduce the need for new materials and production
It’s small-scale, slow fashion at its best – thoughtful, personal, and planet-friendly.
✨ 3 Easy Ways to Get Involved
- List a Hat – Give yours a second life and earn a little cash.
- Shop Pre-Loved – Fall in love with a unique piece at a great price.
- Donate for Charity – Support Phyllis Tuckwell and help others in the process.

I think we have navigated through all technical issues during the trial period, however this is still new to everyone, so we will still be learning as we go, please bear with us…..we are millinery not technology experts and some things can still stump us too!!
