Black Friday Sample Sale | Ethical and Sustainable Homeware Deals

This Black Friday we're hosting a sample sale at our Margate store. Join us over the course of the weekend (29th November to 1st December) to shop seconds, one-off samples and exclusive products. With prices starting from as low as £5, you won't want to miss this!


WHERE: AARVEN, 34 King Street, Margate, CT9 1DA
WHEN: Friday 29th November to Sunday 1st December

 

 

Why a Black Friday sample sale?

As a sustainable business, we won't be participating in any large discounts across our site and stores this Black Friday. This is for many reasons, mainly that we price our products fairly in order to pay our artisans a living wage, as well as our staff here in the UK, and therefore huge discounts are not possible for us.

 

By selling our samples and seconds at low prices, we are able to give imperfect items a loving home, saving them from landfill (many companies will reject any item with imperfections and send them straight to the rubbish) and keeping goods in circulation. We think there is beauty in every handmade treasure that comes through our doors, and our sample sales are a great way to share items that may not otherwise make it onto our shop floors. It is also a great opportunity to shop sustainable and ethical gifts for a fraction of the price.

 

We believe wholeheartedly in ethical and sustainable business practices, and these just aren't compatible with Black Friday. Plus, with 2 in every 5 shoppers in the UK regretting their Black Friday purchases - we think there's a better way!

 

We urge anyone waiting for Black Friday deals to think before you buy, and support local, small businesses where possible! Last year, Black Friday sales in the UK alone were around £13.3 billion, imagine the difference we could make if that went to small business instead.
