SWAP SOCIETY AT DOUBLES IS BACK!
After the roaring success of their launch event at Doubles in Melksham earlier in the year, Swap Society are returning to the thriving venue for another slice this August.
Founded as a passion project by two young women with a fire for pre-loved fashion, Swap Society is a grassroots initiative that aims to break the cycle of throwaway fashion and over-consumption by creating a conscious community with sustainable fashion at its core. This is more than just a clothing exchange. It is a growing shift in how we think about fashion, and Swap Society are proud to be part of shaping that future.
On Saturday 9th August, the pair return to the creative hub of Melksham in the industrial backdrop of the Avonside estate to host a pre-loved clothing swap where you can take away a new-to-you wardrobe for just £5. Expect a morning of fresh coffee, vinyl beats and secondhand style. Whether you’re a first time swapper, or seasoned second-hand shopper, Swap Society at Doubles is a must-attend!
How does it work?
Entry to the clothing swap is £5, payable in cash at the door. Clothing swappers can bring up to 20 items of preloved clothing in a bag (no hangers required). For each item brought, a token is received. These tokens can be exchanged for other preloved items in the curated swap area.
● Adults’ and children’s clothing are both welcome.
● Kids’ clothing tokens can only be used to swap for other kids’ items.
● Guests are free to come and go during the event while they hold tokens.
● If someone runs out of tokens but spots something they love, additional items are just £2 each.
● Re-entry after all tokens are used will require another £5 entry fee.
What can be brought for swapping?
Items accepted include good quality women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes, bags, scarves and accessories. Underwear, swimwear and dirty or damaged items will not be accepted.
