Calling all Local Young People (ages 12-25) to join us for an introduction to sustainable fashion & clothes swap event with Eco Styles!
Raid your wardrobe for 5 / 10 quality items in great condition that you no longer use and exchange them for some super stylish pieces to glow up your summer wardrobe. Why? Because reducing fashion waste to landfill is trending! You’ll here more about this in the sustainable fashion chat by Eco Stylist, Nina Gbor. So, here’s what’s going to happen at this sustainable fashion party:
· Presentation on sustainable fashion and why fashion industry is all about it
· How you can create or level up your own personal style sustainably
· A clothes swap where you get some great pieces for your wardrobe without spending a dime
· Refreshments
Time: Arrive 3:30 pm to check in your swap items. Welcome and swapping will begin at 4 pm.
HOW THE SWAP WORKS
1. Bring 1 to 5 items of clothing or accessories to add to the swap collection pool.
2. Clothing is checked in, then sorted onto racks and tables by our team.
3. Guests can only begin taking and trying on swap items only after the swap is officially declared open by the host at 11 am. This will take place after the brief welcome and talks at the beginning.
SWAP GUIDELINES
Clothes brought to the swap MUST be clean, good quality and in good condition: not worn out, faded, pillaged, pongy or damaged. (Good quality also means something you would gift to a friend). Please be mindful and considerate of what other swappers will be happy to receive 😊.
We can’t guarantee guests will find their sizes as it depends on what other guests bring. Therefore, we encourage ALL SIZES to participate in the swap. This swap is for all genders so we welcome clothing designed for male, female, non-binary and all body types.
Items to bring: pants, skirts, tops, jumpers, coats, jumpsuits, shirts, catsuits, shoes, bags, shorts, scarves, hats, dresses, sunglasses, jewellery.
WHAT NOT TO BRING: we will not accept underwear, pyjamas and overused workout gear. Pyjamas and swimwear might be allowed only if they're brand new with tags.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ITEMS THAT DO NOT MEET THIS CRITERIA CANNOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THE SWAP.
*If you don’t have clothes to swap, please come along anyways. We have items available for the swap. Everyone is welcome to participate.
