How to host a clothes swap

Refresh your wardrobe without spending any money. A pre loved party can give you access to unique and vintage items that aren't available in stores. Clothing swaps reduce waste and promote sustainability by inspiring people to reuse clothes. Meet a lot of new people. It is a fun and social way to interact with others who share similar interests.

 

  • Carry your pre-loved items in large bags. Some VATTENTRÅG boxes will be perfect for an organised display. Remember accessories like TRYSSE hangers.
  • A FLÖNSA memo board is great for displaying jewellery.
  • Arrange clothing on a door rack or hangers, use cardboard boxes for shoes and accessories, and showcase jewellery on a cork memo board with pins for easy browsing.
  • Engage with others, explore pre-loved items, and enjoy the community spirit by swapping, exploring, or sharing stories about the items on display.
  • Have a plan for leftovers. You can either donate or store them for your next clothing swap party. Use the large GÖRSNYGG bag for transport of these items.
