Known Source, the home to a curated selection of archival fashion dealers, has opened its first permanent store at Westfield Stratford City.
The concept store offers a curated array of sought-after archival designer pieces and features a returns policy that allows shoppers to return items anytime to ensure there is no textile waste.
As the recent winners of the Westfield Grand Prix, Known Source has earned a retail space at Westfield Stratford. The brand’s mission is to “redefine second-hand fashion” by fostering an authentic and trusted community.
Known Source marks the first of the ‘dealer residency’ taking place. This includes a custom rail within the store that is dedicated to a new vintage dealer weekly, which will run its own pop-up shop-in-shop.
Designed with versatility in mind, the space also functions as an event space to foster deeper connections with customers.
Working with established second-hand experts, Known Source offers a selection of unique, one-of-a-kind items, including pieces from brands such as Adidas, Nike, Stone Island, Arc’teryx, Jean Paul Gaultier and Miu Miu, to name a few.
“We’re thrilled to open our first long-term store at Westfield Stratford,” said Theo El-Kattan, Co-founder of Known Source.
“This store marks a major step for us in promoting circular curation and creating a dedicated space for the second hand fashion scene. A hub that doesn’t believe in individual genius but rather uniting a grassroots collective to spur consumer behaviour change. Our ever-changing collection of one-of-a-kind pieces and community events will lend itself to a dynamic, people-first, immersive experience. It’s exciting to bring our vision to life and welcome everyone to discover the stories behind each piece and its dealer”
