Joanna Lumley unveils Little Shwop of Horrors at Marks and Spencer pop up
Joanna Lumley today called on the public to help others by giving unwanted clothes to charity and “shwopping” them for something different.
The Absolutely Fabulous actress was speaking at the opening of the Halloween-themed clothes recycling pop-up the Little Shwop of Horrors at Marks & Spencer's in Marble Arch, to support Oxfam.
The 68-year-old actress said: “Shwopping is a great opportunity to give to Oxfam and cut down on waste. In just two years, Shwopping has raised millions of pounds for Oxfam.”

Decorated with spider webs and carved pumpkins, the Little Shwop of Horrors - which hopes to recycle as many clothes as M&S sells - has already received a colourful coat from It's My Party singer Jessie J.
The high street store first launched shwopping in April 2012 when 6.9 million garments helped to raise £4.5 million.
