Fashion to meet compassion for Durban SPCA
THE Durban SPCA is gearing up to host another fashion extravaganza at the Gecko Culinary Adventures in Windermere Centre, from July 8-10 to raise funds and awareness for animals in need.
Billed as fashion meets compassion, the event will take place on the veranda of the venue from 08:00 to 17:00 on July 8 and 9, and from 08:00 to 15:00 on July 10. Shoppers will find a diverse range of pre-loved and new dresses, bags, jewellery, men's and children's wear, shoes, and other accessories, all at incredibly affordable prices.
Items range from as little as R20 to R450, with the higher-end prices reserved for branded and newer pieces. Tanya Fleischer, SPCA marketing manager, said the event encourages community involvement. 'Those looking to declutter their wardrobes for a cause are welcome to donate gently used fashion items, which can be dropped off at the venue or collected upon request,' she said.

She added that the fair was about more than just fashion – it's about making a difference. 'By choosing second-hand clothing, shoppers actively support sustainable fashion practices, helping to reduce waste and preserve the environment. At the same time, proceeds from the fair will go toward supporting animals in need, making this a shopping experience with heart,' said Fleischer.
With two thrift stores – one at the SPCA premises in Springfield and the other in Sunningdale – the organisation is no stranger to sustainability and reselling pre-loved items, including books, at its popular book sale at The Crescent Shopping Mall.
Entry is free and if you 'purchase for R100 or more, you will get 10% off your meal at Gecko on the day'.

It is a tribute to his community, heritage, and faith. He said: 'Dimakatso is my thank you to the streets and to God. It's a manifestation of everything I've survived and everything I'm becoming.'
