BerkChique Fashion Fundraiser Returns May 11-13
WEST STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — The Berkshires' premier annual pop-up clothing sale and fundraiser, BerkChique!, returns for its seventh consecutive year on the weekend of Friday, May 11, through Sunday, May 13, at the West Stockbridge Historical Society, located at 9 Main St.
Since its inception in 2012, BerkChique! has donated more than $150,000 to support local nonprofits. This year the sale is being presented by and in support of WAM Theatre and its programs, with additional donations going to the Berkshire Humane Society, Community Access to the Arts and IS183 Art School of the Berkshires.
The annual event features new and gently used clothing and accessories in a variety of sizes, including casual and formal tops, dresses, sweaters, blazers, coats, slacks, and jeans collected from some of the most fashionable closets in the Berkshires - all at amazing prices. In addition, Vicki Bonnington will again be bringing many hard-to-find and one-of-a-kind designer pieces that you will not see anywhere else.
The sale kicks-off on Friday, May 11, with a First Dibs Shopping Party. Those holding $100 VIP tickets get "first dibs" at the racks from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. From 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., $25 ticket holders can join in the fun. The Friday First Dibs Shopping Party features hors d'oeuvres compliments of The Red Lion Inn and goodie bags with treats from Blue Q, Iredale Cosmetics, Radiance Yoga and more.
The weekend event will continue with free admission for all shoppers on Saturday, May 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
At the close of the sale, unsold items will be donated to the Berkshire Humane Society’s Catwalk Boutique, Shakespeare & Company, The Soldier On Women’s Program, Goodwill Industries of the Berkshires and Suit YourSelf – a program of Goodwill Berkshires that provides free workplace attire to promote and support residents of Berkshire County and the surrounding area who are entering the workforce.
All tickets may be purchased online or at the door.
