OUR PARTNERS
We understand what it takes to create a credible collection—the creativity, the decisions, the love—and our stores honour that effort and the value of it.
Our partners rock. We respect them and what they do, and they respect us and what we do. It works.
Here are their words about us...
Stephanie Porritt, Co-Founder
Universal Works
“We choose to partner with Positive Retail on our surplus stock as our values solidly align. As a brand, Universal Works champions skilled, small-scale production. We produce garments in the right place, both in the UK and overseas, working only with factories we trust, admire and are proud to be associated with. As hard as we try it is impossible to sell out completely and just because an item ‘belongs’ to a different season it should not lose its value.
Positive Retail provides our garments an exciting new home which honours the hard work we put into each collection. They are a win for our sustainability credentials and we respect what they do”
Margaret Howell Ltd.
“A great initiative, that we fully support as a company”
Virginia Seymour, Managing Director
Aligne
“Positive Retail has brought a concept to local high streets that stands out in the market. Anna brings her decades of buying experience into creating an outstanding curation of brands and pieces, paired with a shared ethos our planet and people. We are proud to sit along the other brands in the shops and how we are represented. We are a small business and to find a partner to help us sell our samples and give the garments a home, while introducing new customers not familiar to our brand to ALIGNE through the amazing in store experience is a win win for us.”
Roger Wightman, MD
Wax London
“We are thrilled to partner with Positive Retail as we respect their mission and ethos and fully align with it. We are a brand that believes in slow fashion. We partner with sustainable mills and suppliers from around the world who specialise in the highest quality production, and as such, we want our surplus to be given its second lease of life in a place that understands and respects that.”
Nina Hopkins, Founder
Jakke
“Jakke is thrilled to join forces with Positive Retail, who bring a unique perspective to selling dead stock and preloved items.
Finding a like-minded partner like Positive Retail, with shared values is truly refreshing and allows another way for us to actively contribute to a circular economy.
With their aesthetically pleasing stores and thoughtfully curated blend of brands, Positive Retail demonstrate creativity, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability that we are proud to be part of.”
Chris Scholes, Co-Founder
Far Afield
“Positive Retail has been a game-changer for us. They don't just help us manage our surplus stock efficiently; they give our garments a second chance at life. Their admirable community-focused approach of making high-quality clothing accessible and affordable has served to expand our demographic reach, introducing Far Afield to a new audience of customers.
Positive Retail is more than a partner; they're like-minded friends in our mission to reduce waste and make a positive impact on the environment. By breathing new life into our surplus garments, they've helped us reduce our eco footprint and textile waste. We're proud to collaborate with a company that embodies our shared values”
