An Upcycling Workshop with Zero Waste Cocktails Is Coming to Notting Hill

This summer, vintage fashion favourite Chillie London is embracing customisation, creative repurposing and upcycling – all with a cocktail in hand.

In collaboration with award-winning zero waste inspired spirits brand Discarded Spirits Co,. the two are coming together to host an exclusive Stitch & Sip evening – a celebration of getting creative with waste.

Taking place at Chillie’s iconic Portobello Road store, the ticketed event welcomes a select crowd of style-savvy, eco-minded guests to breathe new life into their wardrobes.

A stylish evolution of Chillie’s beloved upcycling workshops, this one-off edition is tailored for the next-gen fashion fan – those who want their clothes (and their cocktails) with a conscience. With 350,000 tonnes of clothing being sent to landfills in the UK every year* the rise of “wardrobe botox” amongst Gen Z and Millennials is more than a trend – it’s a movement.

It’s all about slow, not throwaway fashion – reimagining what you already own, refreshing it with flair, and proving that zero waste never has to sacrifice style.

Limited spaces. Maximum impact.
On the night, guests are invited to:

Revive a pre-loved piece (bring your own or purchase from Chillie’s curated collection).
Sip your way through a bespoke cocktail menu featuring Discarded Spirits’ award-winning Banana Peel Rum, Sweet Cascada Vermouth and Grape Skin Vodka, paired with a range of curated canapés.
Immerse yourself in a guided tasting and mixology session led by Discarded Spirits Brand Ambassador, Sam Trevethyen, offering a delicious deep dive into the flavours and ethos behind each spirit.

Stitch with guidance from Chillie London’s team of experts, learning easy techniques to pre-loved fashion favourites.
