Come one, come all, the long awaited sequel to the first Swap not Shop has arrived! We all have extra clothes in our closets - gifts from family members with questionable fashion sense, things that no longer match our personal style or stuff that just plain doesn't fit anymore. Bring your gently used clothing items down and swap them for awesome new stuff that you'll actually wear!
Admission is by donation - there is some cost associated with using the Rocker Center and a donation box will be available for participants to contribute to covering this cost.
How it works:
- Come to the Rocker Center (above Mondragon) 4PM Sunday, March 4th, with any and all clothes/shoes/bags/accessories/hats etc that are crowding up your closet
- Each person lays out their clothes, and everyone goes from pile to pile check it out and taking what they want. This is not a one-to-one swap - everything laid out is considered up for grabs so please ensure it is things you are truly willing to part with.
- The general feel is a friendly first-come first-serve. Should two people want the exact item of clothing at the exact same time, disputes can be settled by a friendly match of rock paper scissors.
- Ensure clothes that you bring are gently used and in good, wearable condition. You might not want to wear them anymore, but please only bring things that someone else would want to wear - ripped, stained, etc clothing should be left at home.
- Please note that this swap is only lasting two hours, rather than the entire day like last time, so ensure you come early for best selection.
- At the end of the day if you could take back any of your items that are not swapped that would be awesome and make for easier clean up, but anything left behind will be donated.
Please, invite your friends and family, and encourage them to invite THEIR friends! The more people, the more selection, and the more awesome stuff you can go home with. Spread the word, and SWAP, not shop!
