Pay for storage space, buy stock in bulk and make part-payment on a van so we don't have to keep hiring one.
Tina needs you! This independent creative Bristol enterprise needs your help to develop into a sustainable festival business with a heart.
by Tina Sparkles in Bristol, England, United Kingdom
Pay for storage space, buy stock in bulk and make part-payment on a van so we don't have to keep hiring one.
We’re Ceri and Ele, and our stall Tina Sparkles started as a dream that became a glorious reality last summer. We thought there was a place in everyone’s lives for a bit more sparkle, so we decided to find a way to do it by combining our love of flashy vintage clothes with our passion for making bold jewellery and spectacular headpieces. We aim to provide everything you need to make your festival/party/trip to the corner shop for a pint of milk at least 92% more dazzling.
We're on a mission to end fast fashion and only stock carefully chosen vintage and pre-loved clothes that that have got a lot more life left in them for dancing, revelling and carousing. We make all of our jewellery and headpieces with care so that they last party after party.
We’ve taken Tina Sparkles to a few small, local festivals and it’s been exciting to see her get the party started and help people to unleash their true festival spirit (there’s nothing quite like a sequinned playsuit to put a spring in your step, believe us). It’s been a treat to find our tribe too - we knew we couldn’t be the only ones fond of vintage sequin jackets, showy necklaces and outlandish headwear!
We've put a lot of time, effort, creativity and cash into getting Tina up and running, and we've got so many more ideas, designs and plans up our sleeves. But we need your help to realise them.
We’d really love to...
Backing Tina will also mean that we can apply to bigger festivals than we've been able to so far. We want to grow to give back, too - when we're a profitable enterprise Tina will share the love by giving a slice of the profits to local charities.
We know Tina sounds like a greedy madam, but she's got a whole load of tasty bling and exclusive sparkly treats on offer in return for your support.
