Influencer Sells Wardrobe, Sparks Charity Debate
30 Jan
Summary
- Influencer Tammy Hembrow faced criticism for selling clothes instead of donating.
- She partnered with Thrifter to sell pre-loved items and Saski Collection stock.
- Fans expressed both excitement for the sale and disappointment over charity.
Influencer Tammy Hembrow is facing backlash for selling her unwanted clothing rather than donating it to charity. The 31-year-old entrepreneur announced on Instagram that she was partnering with Thrifter, a chain of pre-loved clothing stores, to offload items from her personal wardrobe and her now-defunct activewear label, Saski Collection.
Hembrow stated that she wanted to declutter her closet and create space, deciding to distribute items to Thrifter stores across Australia. This decision was partly prompted by fan demand for a final sale of Saski Collection merchandise. While some fans expressed excitement about purchasing archival and new pieces, critics questioned her decision to sell rather than donate, with one commenter suggesting she should support women's shelters.
The entrepreneur closed her fitness label Saski in December, reflecting on its significant role in her personal and professional growth. Following her split from ex-husband Matt Zukowski in June last year, Hembrow has also indicated a desire to take a more light-hearted and slower approach to future relationships, emphasizing getting to know people without rushing into serious commitments.
