What to Expect
A clothing swap is a fun, sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe for a fraction of the price. Bring the pieces you no longer wear, discover new-to-you treasures, and connect with a community that values creativity and conscious living. All ticket holders have to donate 5-15 items.
Here’s how it works:
Where: Behind Nifty Consignment Store, 306 Cashel Street!
When: Drop-offs from 11:30 am – 12:50 pm (so we have time to sort and organise), swap kicks off at 1:00 pm sharp.
What to swap: 5-15 preloved clean items of clothing, shoes, and accessories. Please no items with stains or rips, let’s keep the selection quality for everyone.
Take home: Up to 15 newly loved items!
