POP-UP CLOTHING SWAP AMSTERDAM

Looking to make a difference while indulging in your love for fashion? Join our clothing swap event and let style meet sustainability! Clothing swaps are a form of circular fashion because they allow us to extend the lifespan of clothing already in circulation, rather than supporting fast fashion or spending your hard-earned money on new pieces.

You can give your unworn clothes a new home while finding new outfits for yourself. This event is exclusively for women and children, and you can swap clothing, accessories, shoes in good condition, bags, scarves, and hats.

Rules: We ask that you don't come to the swap empty-handed. Donate as much as you like and take home as much as you want. Since we will not have changing rooms, only mirrors to show how beautiful you are, please do not bring your husbands or boyfriends.

Acceptable items include dresses, bottoms, tops, accessories (purses, jewellery, shoes, belts, hats), brand clothing, athletic wear, and more. Please, no socks or undergarments.

More details:

* Please only bring items in good condition – no stains, pilling, holes, etc. Freshly washed clothing of any season is welcome.

* Please bring ten or more items you no longer want (e.g., tops, pants, suits, dresses, scarves, hats, belts, coats, jackets, pyjamas, sportswear, loungewear, robes, formal wear).

* Bring a bag to designate items you've caught the swap

Have a hard time letting go?

Use Marie Kondo's Method: ask yourself, "...does it spark joy?" If the answer is no, place it in your discard pile and keep going. If you haven't worn an item in over six months, you could probably let it go.

Agenda:

- Last clothing drop off: 29th May, 7 pm

- Walk-in and mingle: 30th May, 5:30 pm

- Clothing Swap: From 6 pm

Please hand in your items the days before the event so we can ensure everything is checked and ready before the swapping starts! We will not accept items on the day of the event!

Non-alcoholic refreshments and light snacks will be provided.

IMPORTANT!!!

All unwanted/unclaimed items will be donated after the swap.

Celebrate the joy of refreshing your wardrobe while embracing eco-conscious choices.

Sign up and find out how it works. The entrance fee is 10 EUR. Let's make a positive impact together!
