Don’t save the high street – change it completely, says retail guru Mary Portas https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/06/dont-save-the-high-street-change-it-completely-says-retail-guru-mary-portas
“Have stores that add services or an experience – an alterations service, or repairing electronics. They will be of real value to that community, and you can’t replicate that online.”
We talked about this on the @RSADesignAwards judging panel earlier this year - Launder was the winner in our category in part because we felt like it was an idea for our times - bringing something different to the high street that can’t be replicated online. #makefashioncircular https://twitter.com/rsadesignawards/status/1288904456944451590
This is my most-engaged-with post onLinkedIn - about a high street reuse store. Clearly lots of interest in this kind of idea. Imagine a repair hub. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/robgreenland_berlin-now-has-a-city-run-recycling-department-activity-6730398898621321216-t8-I
Also worth saying that @leedsmarkets has loads of repairers - maybe it’s one thing to build on.
