Style Me Sustainable
2025-10-04 10:00 - 16:00
The most sustainable garment is the one you already own! Go shopping in your own wardrobe for something you love but don’t wear and bring it along to either transform into something different, alter in some way or simply style differently to make it into something you’ll wear and love for years to come.

Ewch i siopa yn eich cwpwrdd dillad eich hun am rywbeth rydych chi’n ei garu ond nad ydych chi’n ei wisgo a dewch ag ef gyda chi i’w drawsnewid yn rhywbeth gwahanol, ei newid mewn rhyw ffordd neu ei steilio’n wahanol i’w wneud yn rhywbeth y byddwch chi’n ei wisgo a’i garu am flynyddoedd i ddod.
