Clothing Swap with the Feelgood Fashionista

Refresh your wardrobe for summer without the spend!

Featuring guest presenter and stylist Loraine Martin the Feelgood Fashionista, our clothing swap is the perfect place to get that new-clothes feeling without the waste. Bring your quality unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories and swap them for new-to-you items that you'll love to wear.

Loraine will answer your questions about textile waste and the circular fashion economy and share how you can build a sustainable wardrobe that works for you.

Volunteers from Repair Lab will also be on hand to help you mend your clothing items with rips, holes or missing buttons, so they can stay in your life for longer.
