Vintage Emporium is a shop run by Refugease, a charity supporting those fleeing conflict. The store offers a wide range of clothing and homeware and the proceeds from the Emporium will be used to fund Refugease’s work to support those fleeing conflict, offering humanitarian aid, crisis awareness and education. The charity, who help refugees in the U.K. and abroad, was born in 2015 when founder, Valentina, saw a photo of Alan Kurdi – a three year old Syrian boy who tragically drowned in the Mediterranean sea as his family were trying to reach Europe.
