Florence Saves Clothes

21/06/2026

Hello dear customers 👋. This week is a little topsy turvy because Florence the van🚑🚑 is going to be getting some repairs so she's ship shape for all her usual duties. Ive already done quite a bit myself as pictured 😁 but now its time for the experts. Tuesday is still a great day for drop ins and fittings, but from Wednesday to Friday, we'll do an appointment only format, as well as local pick ups and drop offs. Always feel free to call on 027 331 8855 or message with any enquiries.
Thanks for your continued support 🚑🚑🚑🧵🪡

Every garment has a story to tell, and this pair of streetwise jeans 👖 was permanently altered when one leg got stuck in a bike chain 🚲🚲🚲 🥲

We decided to tell that story by highlighting the battle scars, as well as making them strong and functional again 🚑🪡🧵

Push your child down a wet slide / let them play and learn to walk on wet sand and grass/ jump in puddles....all without getting clothes wet. Yes, we've still got stock of our brand new rescued PlayDry clothes ☂️🧥🌧🌞

Playdry items are water resistant and light, easy on and off, easy-wash and quick-dry.

These half made items were finished by us ( me, Sally, and our Gateway student Trixie) in recent weeks. So pleased to have saved these very useful pieces from 22 years ago!

Newsflash😁This weekend we'll do Sunday instead of cloudy, wet Saturday☂️ around the Westmere shops. Florence the van 🚑 needs some rays of 🌞 sunshine so the solar panels can power the batteries and sewing machines. Anyone who wanted to pick up garments today will be contacted in good time. ☎️

Ive finally finished the box of long-unfinished kids Playdry wet weather clothing 🌧🌩☂️ that I kept in a box for over 20 years...just could not throw it away. Now they are all washed and fresh, ready for little ones to wear, and for you to save on washing time and water bills. 🧥 💰
