Clothing Swap in New West

Clothing Swap Rules and Guidelines:

1. Fairness and Consideration:
Take only what you need and can use.
Leave enough variety for others to enjoy the swap too.

2. Reselling Discouraged:
This event is about community sharing, textile waste reduction and free fashion - not profit. Swapping with the intention of reselling is discouraged.

3. Limits:
There are no limits; however, please consider points 1 & 2 when collecting clothing.

4. Donations:
Clothing must be clean, in good condition, and free from excessive wear, stains, or damage.
We accept items of all sizes and ages, including children and baby clothing.

You DO NOT need to donate clothes to take clothes.

5. Inclusivity:
Respect all guests, styles, and preferences. This is a judgment-free zone.

6. Unclaimed Items:
Leftover items will be donated to shelters or upcycled into new projects.

**FAQs for the Event:**

Why should I go to a swap?

Textile waste is a huge environmental issue. Swapping helps reduce waste by giving clothing a second life. Plus, it’s a cost-effective and sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe.


When can I drop off the clothing?
You can drop it off the day of. You can also drop off early. Please DM me on Instagram @arrieta_art to schedule a time.
