We all like the odd 'perk', after all a good perk can lavish so much more kudos on an otherwise quite boring job. The twisted part being that the less likely you need the perk the more likely it comes your way.

And nowhere is this truer than in fashion. Journos are sent gifts by the truckload, but they're usually binned, given away or pawned upon receipt. (Purple?! Purple is so Sept '05! Off to the pawn shop it goes.)

Tom Bottomley however is not your average hack. Much to the annoyance of his loved ones, he actually holds onto his pressies. Add this to his love of vintage threads and you begin to picture a fashion packed wardrobe to die for. But alas, his collection has somewhat taken over his life.

Time for a de-clutter. Tom has taken a very brave step by deciding to let the public loose on his much treasured items. From today, for One Month Only, Tom's excellent collection of fashion gems - men's and womenswear, vintage, samples and incredibly rare wares - will be yours for the taking (I wonder if he'll cry when you buy?).

So pop by, pick up some fine wares (vintage hunting jackets!) and help Tom lighten his load.
