About this event
Clothes Swap & Style and Seed Spacesare hosting Sip & Swap; a sustainable fashion event where guests sip bubbles while swapping unwanted treasures, in style.
1.42bn pieces of clothing are imported into Aus every year. 84% of it ends up in landfill.
Sip & Swap is an opportunity to promote circular fashion and sustainable styling while keeping clothes out of landfill.
We’ll set the scene as you seek your next wardrobe faves, with dazzling live music, zero waste snacks by Community Cupboard, a room of like-minded humans and a showcase of sustainable styling tips from speaker, writer and eco sustainable fashion educator Nina Gbor (@eco.styles)
HOW THE SWAP WORKS
1. Please bring 1 – maximum 5 items of clothing or accessories to add to the swap collection pool.
2. Please note that guests can only begin taking and trying on swap items after the swap is officially declared open by the hosts. This will take place after the brief welcome and introduction at the beginning. After this, guest can try on and take what they like.
3. At the end of the swap, everything left will be donated to an op shop.
SWAP GUIDELINES
