The BIG WEEK 2026: TURNING THE ICONIC BIG SALE 2026 INTO Cape Town's Most Meaningful Week in Sustainable Fashion.

If you love fashion, incredible shopping, local design and making a real impact,

The BIG Week is where you need to be this August.

For the first time ever, Vintage with Love is bringing together two of its most iconic fundraising events into one unforgettable week, creating Cape Town's Most Meaningful Week in Sustainable Fashion.

Featuring The BIG Show and The BIG Sale, The BIG Week celebrates fashion with purpose, proving that style and social impact can go hand in hand.

What is The BIG Week?

For more than a decade, Vintage with Love has been transforming pre-loved fashion into meaningful change by donating 100% of the profits from its sales to literacy and education-based charities across South Africa.

This year, we're taking things even further.

The BIG Week combines an inspiring runway experience with South Africa's favourite luxury pre-loved shopping event, giving fashion lovers multiple ways to support an incredible cause.

One week. Two iconic events. One incredible cause.

The BIG Show: More Than A Runway

Kicking off The BIG Week is The BIG Show, an evening celebrating sustainable fashion, creativity and conscious design.

Hosted at Beluga Restaurant on 20 August 2026, guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring:

• A fashion show celebrating sustainable fashion

• South African designers and creative talent

• Delicious food and a welcome drink

• Live entertainment

• An exclusive charity auction

• First access to shop The BIG Sale before it opens to the public

The BIG Show isn't simply about fashion; it's about showcasing how the industry can become a force for good while supporting education initiatives across South Africa.

The BIG Sale: More Than A Sale

Returning bigger than ever, The BIG Sale has become one of Cape Town's most anticipated shopping events.

From 27–30 August 2026 at the Cape Town Cruise Terminal at the V&A Waterfront, shoppers will discover thousands of carefully curated pre-loved fashion pieces, shoes, handbags and accessories from some of the world's most loved brands.

Whether you're searching for luxury designer labels, premium high-street fashion or hidden vintage gems, The BIG Sale offers an unmatched shopping experience, all while supporting a meaningful cause.

Every purchase helps fund literacy and education programmes that change lives across South Africa.

Shopping has never felt so rewarding.

Why Shop Pre-Loved?

Choosing pre-loved fashion isn't just good for your wardrobe; it's good for the planet.

Shopping second-hand helps:

• Reduce fashion waste

• Extend the life of quality garments

• Support a more circular fashion economy

• Reduce the environmental impact of fast fashion

• Make luxury fashion more accessible

At Vintage with Love, every donated garment gets the opportunity to begin a new story while helping create brighter futures through education.

It's sustainable fashion with lasting impact.

Fashion That Gives Back

Every item donated to Vintage with Love carries the potential to make a real difference.

By shopping at The BIG Sale or attending The BIG Show, you're helping support literacy and education-based charities that empower children and communities throughout South Africa.

A single purchase becomes so much more than a new addition to your wardrobe; it becomes an investment in someone's future.

That's what makes The BIG Week truly special.

Why You Shouldn't Miss The BIG Week

Whether you're passionate about fashion, sustainability, luxury shopping or giving back, The BIG Week offers something for everyone.

Expect:

• Incredible luxury pre-loved fashion

• Designer clothing at exceptional prices

• Exclusive runway experiences

• Sustainable fashion inspiration

• An opportunity to support literacy and education through every ticket and purchase

It's more than a fashion event.
