How the clothes swapping experience works

Switch up your wardrobe and lower your fashion footprint at the same time. The golden rule of clothes swapping is; If you wouldn’t feel comfortable gifting it to a friend, then you probably shouldn’t be bringing it to a swap shop. Because chances are it is not in a condition for anyone else to wear either.

• Bring a maximum of 10 clean, unbroken, good-condition clothes for colder days
• They won’t accept clothes that smell, have holes, are pilled or are dirty
• You can swap for the same number of clothes as the good quality clothes that you bring. a small collection of menswear items from Markham will also be available for this edition
• Bring your mending kit, learn how to sew and connect with a community of sustainable fashion lovers
