Tems discusses wardrobe sale and addresses her approach to managing shopaholic tendencies.
Tems has opened up about the motivation behind her annual wardrobe sales, shedding light on the reasons for this practice. Recently, the renowned “Damages” artist hosted a wardrobe sale, successfully selling out everything from clothing to accessories.
In a recent interview with Cool FM, Tems revealed that her inclination towards shopping and being a self-professed shopaholic led her to initiate these sales as a means to declutter her wardrobe. Notably, she shared that the proceeds generated from these sales are directed towards charitable causes.
The tradition of the wardrobe sale commenced last year, initially driven by a desire to create more space in her wardrobe.
However, given its success and the positive impact it can have, Tems has decided to transform it into an annual event, turning her personal endeavor into a charitable and recurring initiative.

“I’ve been planning for this sale where every year I sell out my closet, both worn and unworn, tagged and untagged, all my bags, all my glasses, all my boots all my shoes. I just cleanse myself of everything I’ve ever bought that year and I do it annually,” she said during the interview. “I decided to start doing that last year because first off, I think I’m a shopaholic. I’m acknowledging the problem you see,” she added.
Going further, Tems revealed that she partnered up with an organisation and sought to bring awareness to the organisation’s goals during her sale.
“I wanted to work with a particular organisation called WARIF who advocates for women and children that are victims of domestic violence. And I just thought that was a way I can do this, not just partnering with them, but also doing something that involves other people as well and creates awareness. So I thought this sale would kill two birds with one stone; solving my shopaholic problems and also bringing awareness to organisations that need that spotlight,” she explained.
