the Spring Clothing Swap at Studio Forma

Join us at Studio Forma in South Lake Union for a vintage & second-hand inspired event!

Thursday March 19th from 5:30 - 8pm

at 700 Dexter Ave ( suite 201 ) Seattle WA 98109

join us for the Spring clothing swap at our newest pop-up activation in South Lake Union. Inspired by vintage, second-hand and circular fashion - our aim is to bring together community and introduce you to new ways to re-think your wardrobe and what it means to shop "sustainably".

treats + wine ( and N/A options ) will be available to snack & sip while you shop, swap and make new friends.

How it will work - bring up to (10) pieces of gently worn ( vintage or secondhand ) clothing to swap. We ask that your items are washed or dry-cleaned and ready to be passed along to a new owner. Please skip the fast fashion, and focus on items centered around Spring and the change in seasons. Imagine the items you would gift to a friend - something you might still wear or own that doesn't work for you at the moment. We want to encourage mindful swapping, and help keep pieces circulating amongst like-minded individuals.

Clothing Rack will be provided to you. Please bring your items on hangers ( we will have a few extra on hand in case you forget! ). RSVPs are required to ensure we can prepare enough space for what you will bring.

Michelle, owner of blaksands - is on a mission to cultivate a positive and welcoming community of like-minded people ; one where we feel safe to connect, share and seek advice.

Your ticket includes; access to the event and 10% off your in-store purchase* from blaksands. *the Beanie is excluded from this discount offer. Discount only applies to purchases made in-person at Studio Forma on Wednesday March 18th.

You can swap for as many items as you bring - bring 10 items and take ( up to ) 10 items. Any left-over items will be donated to Mary's Place.

Space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot!
