Join us for a sustainable fashion event where you can swap NOT shop!

Tired of your old clothes but don’t want to contribute to fast fashion?

Join us for an exciting 2-day clothes swap event, where you can trade pre-loved items for something new-to-you while helping the planet!

You can come and swap clothes either on Tuesday 21 or Wednesday 22 January 2025.

The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions—more than international flights and shipping combined. Moreover, each year 92 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills globally.

By swapping instead of shopping, you can reduce waste, conserve resources, and combat fast fashion’s environmental impact. Collaborating with Eco Soc and CLOSWAP, King’s Climate & Sustainability gives you an opportunity to do so through a clothes swap!

You can donate as many clothes as you'd like, but you can swap up to 10 items.

Here's how it works

1. Bring your clothes and accessories to donate—we'll track the number of items by providing you with tokens.
2. For each item you donate, you can swap one item (up to 10).
3. Avoid bringing underwear, bikinis/swimwear, or anything stained/damaged.
4. Please ensure the clothes and/or accessories you bring are clean and in good condition. Only bring what you would be happy to receive in a swap.

What to Expect

• Find hidden gems and discover unique pieces to refresh your wardrobe.

• Help the planet while embracing sustainable fashion.

• Mingle with like-minded fashion enthusiasts in a fun, vibrant setting.
