Swap Event

Tuesday 9th November

‘One Woman’s Trash is Another Woman’s Treasure!’

Come join us at The Wardrobe, Preloved Boutique, for an evening of fun, guilt free shopping and style advice!
We are delighted to be hosting a Swap Event in conjunction with RE(act) Sustainability Festival and EastSide Partnership.

How it works

Bring five gently worn items which are languishing in your wardrobe with the chance to swap them for five as new items from someone else. A fantastic way to refresh your wardrobe, while helping the environment and your pocket! Guilt free retail therapy! 

The evening will begin by dropping in your items before moving upstairs to enjoy a glass of bubbles and a chance to peruse the fabulous preloved fashion and accessories available to purchase at The Wardrobe. 

We will have a guest speaker, Mary McGuigan, owner of style and image consultancy, Corporate & Creative Image, who will be on hand to share some expert advice on how to best dress for your colouring, shape, lifestyle and personality, and how to do this sustainably. 

Once you are finished mingling upstairs you move downstairs to choose your new items from the selection dropped in. It’s a win-win situation!

Why should we swap?

This is an excellent way of renewing your wardrobe without spending cash. There are so many unworn items being sent to landfill which is having a huge detrimental effect on the planet. This is an easy, fun way of starting a green, sustainable fashion journey.

T&Cs

All items must be laundered, in excellent condition, in season and on hangers.
For each item that is accepted as suitable to swap, you will receive one token to swap for another item.
We look forward to welcoming you to our first Swap Event at The Wardrobe.
