About this Event

LOANHOOD hosts a clothes swap at Una Marson Library in Southwark

Love Not Landfill is a non-profit campaign, run by ReLondon, to encourage fast fashion fans to buy second-hand, swap, recycle and give to charity. We aim to encourage Londoners to never throw an unwanted item of clothing in the bin.

CLOTHES SWAP

Clothes swaps are an opportunity to circulate clothes and accessories with other members of your community and we offer this service to you for free.

350,000 tonnes, that’s around £140 million worth of used but still wearable clothing goes to landfill in the UK every year and its a bigger problem around Christmas as we have so many more events to go to and places to dress up.

There are lots of way to be part of the circular economy. Only together can we make a difference.

HOW IT WORKS

Please bring no more than 5 items of clothing and accessories freshly cleaned * and ready to go on the racks. We accept all shapes and sizes including children's clothing.

We offer a token system for customers who bring no more than 5 items. Items will be categorised into relevant tiers (1 token under £50, 2 tokens over £50) based on the type, brand, RRP and condition. This will dictate how many tokens you can use to shop for new items. 2 token items will have a yellow sticker assigned to them.

This is a community driven swap where we accept items from high street up to high end.

DROP - 11:30-3:30pm

Rolling drop and swap

You will be able to drop items from 11:30am until 3:30pm. We open the doors for drop only at 11:30am, this gives us chance to populate the shop before we officially open the doors for swapping at 12 noon.

Bring up to 5 items to trade for tokens. Items will be assessed by the Swap Shop Assistants on arrival and displayed on the rails. Once the items are traded for tokens they go straight onto the shop floor, so make sure you are 100% sure before you pass them over.

SWAP - 12 -4:00pm

Browse the rails and use your token currency to exchange for new preloved items. You can only swap if you have dropped items during the drop period.

If you don't use all your tokens you can save and bring to the next clothes swap.
