I'm organizing Swap-O-Rama-Rama this year! Last year it was a huge success and I'm really excited to be part of the event again this year.
Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a clothing swap in which a community explores reuse and creativity through the recycling of used clothing.
The core of the swap is the gigantic pile of free clothing sorted into categories such as pants, skirts, shirts, shoes etc. These piles are the collective total of each guest’s contribution of any size bag of unwanted clothes, so start cleaning your closets! Take as little or as much as you like! All remainders will go to local charities.
A series of DIY stations will be on-hand to unleash your creativity through the recycling of used clothing including screen printing by Blim and sewing stations by Spool of Thread.
Join in the communal process of reuse and celebrate our collective creativity!
What to bring to Swap-O-Rama-Rama?
Clean, gently-used clothes and accessories: jackets, pants, shirts, skirts, shoes, gloves, belts, accessories, jewelry, sunglasses, bags, wallets and hats. Children and men’s clothing are welcome.
What not to bring to Swap-O-Rama-Rama
Books, make up, home décor, furniture, lingerie / underwear, dirty clothing or anything that you cannot wear. Also, this year we are NOT accepting craft supplies.
