Event Description

Thanks to everyone who attended our clothing swap on January 16th! We had over 50 swappers attend! Our next clothing swap will be in May!

Date: Friday May 8th 2015

Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Cost: $8.00

Our clothing swaps are sponsored by UsedVictoria.com!

Are you hoarding tons of clothes that you never wear? Sometimes you fall in love with a dress but only wear it a couple of times before deciding it’s just not your style anymore. After all, styles and trends change so quickly; who knows what you’re going to like a few months or even a year from now. All of those unworn clothes start to take up precious space in your closet, but just throwing them out isn’t an option. So how do you clean out your closet AND find new clothes to add to your wardrobe that you WILL wear?

Here are a few swap rules...

Guests should arrive at 6pm for set up. Swapping will begin at 6:15pm once we've laid everything out.

Each garment that you bring is worth one credit, which can be exchanged for something else. It's a one for one concept that makes for easy swapping. We have shopping bags from UsedVictoria.com to take your new loot home!

If you pick it up and try it on first - it's yours. This rule has always worked in every swap I've been to. If you love it too don't get green-eyed - just get over it and find something else! There's always plenty of clothes to go around!

We ask that everyone label their clothing by size [this can just be a paper or tag pinned to each garment [safety pins please!]

All clothing should be clean and free of stains, holes, or major damage. It’s true that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” but no one wants to be stuck with actual trash.

Please if possible drop your garments off in the days leading up to the swap as this helps immensely with the setting up.

We hope to see you there!

Leftover clothes will be donated to charity.

As usual we are looking for a few volunteers to help set up and clean up! Please email [email protected] if you are interested in helping volunteering.
