Redfern clothes swap

Swapping is a clever and thrifty way to update your wardrobe, save money and help reduce textile waste.

If you have garments in excellent condition you once loved but are no longer your favourites, join us at Redfern Town Hall for a swap. Find out more below about what you can and can't bring.

This event is only open to residents who live in the City of Sydney council area.

There is a one hour check-in period. Depending on when you check in, you could have up to one hour of downtime before the swap begins. You might like to grab a coffee or mingle with fellow fashion enthusiasts.

Redfern Town Hall (main hall), 73 Pitt Street, Redfern 2016

11am to 12pm: Check-in opens. All clothes must be checked in before 12pm.

If you arrive after 12pm, you'll need to wait until 12:15pm to check-in and enter the swap.

12pm to 1pm: Clothes swap time.

Bring up to 5 items of seasonally appropriate clothing in excellent condition for any size, gender and age. Excellent condition means the clothing is clean, pressed and free from rips, holes, stains or major faults. Only bring items you would proudly give to a friend.

• Tops, shirts, blouses and jackets
• Pants, jeans and shorts
• Skirts, dresses and suits
• Belts, bags and shoes
• Scarves, ties and hats

All styles and brands are accepted, provided they're in excellent condition. Keep in mind that items will range from on-trend pieces to older classics. Although we love receiving them, we can't guarantee everyone who brings a designer item will take home an equivalent piece.

Items are checked before being put out for the clothes swap. If your items are unsuitable, you may be asked to take them home.

• Jewellery and wigs
• Underwear, socks and swimwear
• Sportswear and activewear
• Anything stained, torn or unclean
• Noticeably worn out, shabby, pilling or frayed items
