New shop de:robe brings sustainable style to the CBD

Since opening its doors almost two months ago, new rent-a-rack clothing shop de:robe has made a fashionable entrance into the Bundaberg CBD.

Located on Tanitha Street, the shop allows locals to make money by selling their pre-loved clothes and shop sustainably by browsing the racks of items on offer.

Owner Narelle Crook said the shop was developed from a love of fashion and was a way to help locals clear the clutter and earn extra money.

“It’s the first of its kind in Bundy,” Narelle said.

“It’s a win-win as customers get to sell clothes and make some money and it promotes sustainability.”

Narelle said their CBD location was important to the business thanks to visibility, foot traffic and a central location for accessibility.

“We want to contribute to building the CBD back to its former glory,” she said.

“Everyone has been so supportive and it’s wonderful seeing familiar faces.

“Come [to the CBD], see what’s new and support local business!”
