What is The Clothing Exchange exactly?
The Clothing Exchange is a professional swapping service that promotes the simple notion of swapping instead of shopping for a better wardrobe and better world. The Clothing Exchange mediates the exchange of clothing donated by patrons in the form of a clothes swapping event.
What kinds of items are swapped?
These events attract everything from designer wear to good quality basic garments from local high street stores. Placed side by side in the context of the exchange, a great little frock from a basic label can upstage a designer dress because the exchange rightfully places individual style and fit before branding.
So is it possible to swap my worn out tracky dacks for a Gucci dress?
Our screening process mediates the quality control of the garments exchanged so those tracksuit pants would not make the cut but our exchange would allow a good basic garment to be traded for a designer dress as the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Does your Clothing Exchange attract a wide range of sizes?
Our events attract a ladies of all shapes and sizes but there is an advantage in the smaller spectrum having the opportunity to wear oversized items.We are always happy to hear feedback about sizing availability as we are always seeking to improve our service.
Can I keep my buttons for the next event if I don’t find anything that suits me?
The buttons are only valid for the night of the exchange.
We suggest that you:
- Grab some garments to trade at the next event.
- Simply enjoy the extra wardrobe space.
- Or take pleasure in knowing your old wears went to a good home.
We always love to hear your feedback on improving the swapping experience.
Where do the leftover clothes go?
The small amount of garments that are left over are donated to Red Cross and Fitted for Work
What do I do if I don’t have a credit card and can’t book a ticket online?
It is best to buy your ticket online to ensure you save your place at our next coveted swap, but we also sell tickets at the same price at the door according to availability.
Who runs these swaps and what do they get out of it?
The Clothing Exchange is building a sustainable fashion community, bringing like-minded people together and working positively towards the future of a greener world. The swaps are run by devoted little teams across Australia who host events with the intention to swap towards a greener future through the fun of swapping.
Are these events suitable for those below 18+?
If are event is at an unlicensed venue such as Federation Square or NoVacancy, then these swaps are all ages. Our events are occasionally at 18+ bar venues.
