The third edition of the Pasar Glamour jumble sale is back and it's happening this Friday (Sep 27) to Sunday (Sep 29) at the National Design Centre.

Inspired by the late actress Emma Yong, fellow actresses Pam Oei, Janice Koh and Petrina Kow started this charity bazaar of pre-loved clothing and accessories in support of women and children from less privileged backgrounds, and their love for the arts. To date, the free-admission charity sale has raised over S$65,000 in aid of several charitable organisations.

This year’s proceeds will go towards aidha, AWARE Singapore’s Sexual Assault Care Centre, Arc Children’s Centre, Playeum’s Giving Tuesday, and Wild Rice’s Gift of Theatre programme.

What can one expect to find at the sale? 

You can pick up pieces from celebrities like Rebecca Lim, Jeanette Aw, Kym Ng, Narelle Kheng and Benjamin Kheng. Or you could be shopping from personalities Aarika Lee, Anita Kapoor and Sandra Riley’s haul. 

Local fashion labels Ong Shunmugam, Carrie K, Ling Wu, In Good Company, Max Tan, STOLEN, Thrifty Thieves and Society A have also added to the count with brand new pieces from previous collections.   

"Come early,” advised Koh. “And check prices of your most loved brands on pre-owned websites beforehand. Then you’ll know if you’ve snagged a bargain."

And speaking of a bargain, scroll down to see the best buys from the charity sale.

CHANEL TWEED JACKET, S$600

Tweed jackets from the house of Chanel never, ever come with this small a price tag. For perspective, they typically run upwards of S$4,500. Take this versatile number home and you’ll likely have another 10 good years of wear if you treat it with care – your cost per year works out to a mere S$60.
