What to Bring
We’re creating a curated shopping experience, so please bring pieces that reflect quality, style, and are in excellent condition, gently used items you would gift a friend.
Especially Desired:
• Gently worn contemporary or designer clothing
• Natural fabrics such as linen, silk, cotton, cashmere, wool, and leather
• High-quality denim
• Unique one of a kind pieces
• Handmade and artisan samples
• Handbags and exceptional accessories
• All shapes and genders welcome
Every item should be freshly cleaned, free of stains, odors, tears, missing buttons, or needed repairs.
Bring a bag!
Clothing tip: wear form fitting tank tops or shorts underneath to lessen exposure when trying on clothes. (Optional)
Please leave these at home
To keep the swap curated, we kindly ask that you do not bring:
• Heavily worn items
• Clothing with stains, holes, pilling, or damage
• Items better suited for donation
• Undergarments, swimwear, shoes, or socks
• Costume jewelry or heavily worn accessories
Our goal is quality over quantity—think boutique closet rather than donation bin.
