The Clothing Exchange Australia now operates across four states and is continuing to expand. From humble beginnings towards a flourishing future, The Clothing Exchange has inspired many swaps and the media were quick to cite us as the catalyst for Australia’s latest swapping trend. Rather than a fad or fashion itself, The Clothing Exchange is here to stay as it provides a professional swapping service that is part of the broader clothing industry.

The Clothing Exchange Australia has facilitated the exchange of thousands of garments, with the Sydney team holding the record for 1700 people swapping during a single event. The Clothing Exchange state teams continue to refine, develop and diversify their events to better manage the task of mediating the exchange of garments. Keeping participants happy and enthusiastic is a challenge that has been realised successfully through the development of a committed and friendly swapping community.
