A van that transforms into a roaming fashion store, the Salvonista Mobile Boutique launched in Sydney before travelling to Brisbane this week, and will continue its tour to New South Wales and the ACT for the remainder of the month.

Taking the term ‘fashionista’ and implementing a socially conscious element, a ‘salvonista’ is defined as a person who combines their flair for style and love of shopping with helping the community and others around them by purchasing vintage from a charity-run op shop. Not only channelling an eco-consciousness through the sale of secondhand items over newly manufactured goods, the Salvonista Mobile Boutique is also powered by solar panels, ensuring an environmentally friendly tour.

Stylists, Salvonista ambassadors and local Salvos Store staff will be on hand to chat and talk fashion tips this weekend as this nomadic fashion store delivers local style mavens a rich tapestry of classic vintage clothing and accessories.
