Restock your wardrobe with a fresh look at our swap SHOP!
#SustainableFashion #Swapping #MidlandsFashion #SwapShop
Swapping is a great way to let your items live for their full potential - you may be bored of the items but others may find joy in your items.
Through swaps, you can find this season’s trends as trends are cyclical. Whilst the planet’s resources are finite, your creativity and style are limitless.
Have a constantly changing wardrobe without buying new.
Global clothing production has approximately doubled in the past 15 years whereas clothing usage has decreased by about 36% in that same period. Developed countries are the worst offenders (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017) – we can’t continue as business as usual.
So how does it work & how can I get involved?
Taking part in the Swap Shop couldn’t be easier. It’s a great way to refresh your wardrobe without having to spend any money! All you’ve got to do is register below and decide what you’re going to bring but remember, you’ll need to purchase tickets to the show in order to participate.
