Welcome to The Fashion Exchange. Our seasonal clothes swaps where you get to have a spring clean of your wardrobe and exchange it for some amazing sustainable fashion finds.
We love swapping and recycling fashion. It’s a great way to bag some bargains whilst reducing the impact of fast fashion on the environment.
At each event we’ll hear more about conscious clothing in talks with fashion guests along with zero drinks from SoBar Social
£10 Charity Donation
HOW IT WORKS
Bring up to 10 items of clothing, accessories and/or footwear.
We accept all genders and shapes and sizes, from high street up to high end as long as they’re clean and in good condition. As well as Kids clothes.
Based on the type, brand and condition we categorise the items and give them a yellow, blue or green tag. Each category is then awarded a number of tokens which you can trade for new items in the swap.
High Street = Yellow Tag = 1 token
Designer = Blue Tag = 2 tokens
Vintage = Green Tag = 2 tokens
