Restoration Day 2018 | Fall in Love with Original Beauty
This August, Preloved is excited to be celebrating the return of the increasingly popular Restoration Day, taking place on Sunday, 19th August.
Launched back in 2015, the event is a time to celebrate the joy of restoring items that have seen better days, and taking them back to their former glory.
Here at Preloved, we know that secondhand isn't second best and for those looking to get their hands on a one-of-a-kind original, a restoration project lets you own a little piece of history while saving money in the process.
What is Restoration Day?
Preloved celebrates National Second Hand Day each spring, with advice on upcycling and recycling, so what's different about Restoration Day?
Unlike upcycling, where an object is repurposed, restoration is all about returning an item to its original state, whether that's the condition, position, or function.
How are we celebrating?
We'll be running amazing discount code offers on Restoration Day, making it even easier to start your own restoration journey. Check out our Twitter and Facebook posts for the code, revealed later this month! Share your restoration projects with the Preloved audience to help inspire others, using the hashtag #RestorationDay to feature on our social channels! Plus, the most popular of our members' restoration projects will win a FREE 12 Month Premium Upgrade.
