Clothes swap

Next date: Saturday, 25 July 2026 | 09:30 AM to 11:45 AM

An average Aussie buys 53 new items of clothing every year! Swapping clothes instead of shopping is a great way to save money and valuable resources, while reduce waste.

Bring up to 8 pieces of clothing or accessories to exchange at our swap, using tokens as currency. All types of adult clothing are accepted, of any style and size.

Swap items must be:

• Clean and folded
• Good quality with a long life ahead of it
• Likely to be valued by others – ask yourself if you would be happy to give it to a friend
• Free of faults or with minor faults easy to repair (e.g. missing a button)

The best items to swap are good quality garments that you once loved but are no longer your favourites or perhaps no longer fit you perfectly. This way, you’re giving them a second life with someone new who will treasure them!

Items we will not accept:

• Items that are stained, pilling, frayed or worn out
• Underwear, socks, jewellery,  swimwear or sportswear
• Dirty, damaged or unclean clothes

Please note that we have a quality screening process at our events. Only items that meet the required condition will be accepted. Any items that don’t meet the criteria will not be included in the swap.
