About
We're on a mission for people and planet.
Bloom Op Shop is a social enterprise, originating as charity fundraisers through Loop Exchange by selling excess stock.
Seeing the enthusiasm for cheap op shop pricing through these events, founder Zara embarked on a mission to open a social enterprise that benefits both people and planet.
Bloom Op Shop opened in Newstead in May 2023, with prices from $2-$15, with plans to expand to open the only permanent pay-per-kilo section in an op shop in QLD once stock levels and space allow!
We pledge 100% of our profits to local charities and mutual aid efforts, changing quarterly, and are currently supporting Pay the Rent and Micah Projects.
Using founder Zara's expertise in textile recycling, we also pledge to sell or repurpose 90% of donations, compared to the reported national average of 15-25%.
Bloom Op Shop is a fab.LOOP initiative, where unsaleable clothes are repurposed into new products.
