Words from the Press...

“Talk about a top idea! The smart folks at The Clothing Exchange have set up a monthly swap night...”

Frankie Magazine, 2007

“My Sister’s Wardrobe swapping parties are the uncomplicated answer to our prayers”. “Unlike those crazy post-Christmas sales, there’s a completely relaxed and unpretentious vibe here”

-Melissa Yap, Style Will Save Us, 2007

“Rather than go shopping along Oxford St, revolutionary eco-fashionistas have begun gathering in inner-city locations in order to swap frocks at a night hosted by a group called The Clothing Exchange”

Simon Webster, Sydney Morning Herald, 2008

“Two Melbourne women are causing a buzz around Australia and the world for their part in reducing the ecological footprint fashion makes...without sacrificing class and wearability”

Annalise Walliker, Herald Sun 2007

“Kate Pears is leading a quiet revolution in the way we dispose of old and discarded items of clothing”. “Her clothing exchanges have taken on the air of must-attend social events...”

Julian Lee, How Good Are You?, 2007

“Combining ethics, ecology, bargain-hunting and conscientious consumption, clothes swapping is one fashion trend we’re happy to follow, organised by local fashionista Kate Pears...”
