Clothes Swish Event for Sustainable Fashion

Saturday 12th March, 2022 - 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Bring along 2-5 items on hangers, clean and in good condition. Clothes only this time, no accessories.

Items will be checked at drop off. Tokens will be issued for each item.

Items can also be dropped at the Climate Emergency Centre in advance in exchange for tokens to bring back on the day from Friday 11th 10.30-3.30.

Simple changing facilities available.

Items swapped will be weighed to account for how many kgs have gone to new homes/saved from landfill and tokens redeemed at this point. Items left will be donated to charity shops or taken for recycling.

 

Free advice on hand from volunteer Lucy who has a diploma in Style Coaching which combines personal styling and life coaching. Her ethos is to help clients with their body confidence and self esteem through their wardrobes. She start with a ‘styling not shopping’ ethos, seeing what they have first, what’s working for them, what’s not and then they can fill in the gaps together. She promotes secondhand options as the first option. Vintage, charity shops and swapping play a key role in tackling fast fashion. Where clients want to buy new, she suggests sustainable brands and those high street brands with sustainable qualities (and highlights the green-washing!).
