Antiques and collectables
Whether it is an autographed piece of memorabilia, an antique or modern collectable, all Sense shops have something special to offer the casual browser. However, some pieces simply have to be offered to a wider and more appreciative audience, if the donation is to realise its full potential. Such items are sometimes sold via our very own Antique and Collectables shop online or at specialist auction houses.
Books, music and media
All Sense shops accept donations of and resell books, music, tapes, records, CDs, DVDs and videos.
Some shops have specialist book and music sections, they will stock a far greater range - with that little extra for the more discerning reader or music lover. The following Sense shops all have specialist book and music departments:

Wedding outfits
If impending nuptials have the father of the bride reaching for the smelling salts rather than his champagne, then our one-stop wedding shops could ensure you can have your big day on a budget, without cutting corners.
The Sense shops in Kingswinford and the Margate both stock a wide range of previously loved wedding gowns and bridesmaids' dresses, plus an extensive range of mother of the bride attire, groom and wedding party. A range of new items and accessories are stocked as well.
Donations are received and sold all the time, so it’s not uncommon to discover a real gem of a designer or vintage outfit that would make that special day truly exceptional.
If you have a wedding outfit you would like to donate to Sense, please contact the specialist shops in Margate or Kingswinford direct. If you are not local to either shop, you can contact the nearest Sense shop, staff will forward it on your behalf.

Designer outfits, sought after labels, vintage classics, there is something for every fashion lover online. All Sense shops can sell great labels at amazing prices, but for that must have item of style, there is no better source than our own online retro and vintage fashions store.
