Binalong Clothes Swap

In Australia, over 200,000 tonnes of clothing goes landfill each year. And we’re the second biggest consumer of fashion and textiles in the world per capita! We’re supporting the end of fashion waste (and getting a wardrobe refresh without the hefty price tag) by swapping clothes. So join us for a delightful evening of fashion, fun and networking.

When: Tuesday 3rd October

Time: 6pm - 8pm

Arrive: 6pm to check in your swap items. 

Swapping will begin promptly at 6:30pm.

Location: Binalong Mechanics Institute

Tickets: $10 donation to the CWA (please bring cash)

HOW THE SWAP WORKS

1. Bring 1 to 10 (maximum) items of clothing or accessories to add to the swap collection pool.
2. Clothing is checked in, then sort onto racks and tables by our team. While you are waiting light refreshments will be served.
3. Guests can only begin taking and trying on swap items only after the swap is officially declared open by the host at 6:30pm. This will take place after the brief welcome at the beginning.

SWAP GUIDELINES

● Clothes brought to the swap MUST be clean, good quality and in good condition: not worn out, faded, pillaged, pongy or damaged. And if possible, items should be hung, folded or pressed.(Good quality also means something you would gift to a friend). Please be mindful and considerate of what other swappers will be happy to receive.
