Clothes Swap Party

When

Saturday 23 November from 10am to 1pm

Clothes Swap & Style is a social event where clothes are swapped in the spirit of generosity and community to make a positive environmental impact.

We’re banning fast fashion from this swap, not to discriminate against people who can only afford to shop at fast fashion prices, but to disrupt the excessive flow of fast fashion taking over our wardrobes.

Swaps prove that people can get free or affordable clothing without buying fast fashion.

We’re encouraging conscious, slow consumption by celebrating and swapping quality items made from natural fabrics, handmade garments, retro and vintage fashion, non-fast fashion brands, slow fashion clothing, brand new and second hand luxury items. 

Free but registration is essential Register Here 

HOW THE SWAP WORKS

1. Bring up to 5 (maximum) items of clothing or accessories to add to the swap collection pool.

2. Clothing is checked in, then sorted onto racks and tables by our team.

3. Guests can only begin taking and trying on swap items only after the swap is officially declared open by the host at 11am. This will take place after the brief welcome and talks at the beginning.

SWAP GUIDELINES

  • Clothes brought to the swap must be clean, good quality and in good condition: not worn out, not faded, no pilling, not pongy or damaged. (Good quality also means something you would gift to a friend). Please be mindful and considerate of bringing items that other swappers will be happy to receive.

  • We can’t guarantee guests will find their sizes as it depends on what other guests bring. Accessories are included in the pool, so there will be something for everyone. We encourage all sizes to participate in the swap. The swap is for all genders so we welcome clothing designed for male, female, adaptive and all body types.

  • Items to bring: pants, skirts, tops, jumpers, coats, jumpsuits, shirts, shoes, bags, shorts, jackets, blazers, scarves, hats, dresses, sunglasses, jewellery. All these items can be retro, vintage, handmade or from quality medium to luxury brands.

  • What not to bring: we will not accept underwear, fast fashion, used pyjamas and overused workout gear.

Please note that items that do not meet these criteria cannot be accepted into the swap.

Clothes Swap & Style is an initiative of Eco Styles by Nina Gbor and the Juanita Nielsen Community Centre.
