Please note there is a one hour check-in period and 15 minutes of set-up time. Depending on when you check in, this means you could have up to one hour of downtime before the swap begins. You might like to grab a coffee or mingle with fellow fashion enthusiasts.
Location:
East Sydney Community and Arts Centre (Lower Hall)
34-40 Burton Street, Darlinghurst (enter at Palmer Street)
Timing:
Check-in: 11am to 12 noon
Swap: 12:15pm to 1:15pm
What you can bring:
Bring up to 5 items of seasonally appropriate, excellent condition clothing for any size, gender and age. Excellent condition means the clothing is clean, pressed and free from rips, holes, stains or major faults. Only bring items you would proudly give to a friend.
All styles and brands are accepted, provided they're in excellent condition – so keep in mind that items will range from on-trend pieces to older classics. And although we love receiving them, we can't guarantee everyone who brings a designer item will take home an equivalent piece.
What you can't bring:
Items are checked before being put out for the clothes swap. If your items are unsuitable, you may be asked to take them home.
