SWAP GUIDELINES 

• Clothes Brought MUST be CLEAN and stain free, GOOD condition. Something that you would gift to a BEST friend. 
• We can't guarantee that  guests will find their sizes as it depends on what other guests are bringing 
• We encourage All sizes to participate in Swap meet

• Items to bring: pants, skirts, tops, shirts, shoes, bags, shorts, jackets, blazers, hats, dresses ,sunglasses, Jewellery and kids toys 
• WHAT NOT TO BRING: We will not accept underwear, fast fashion, or overused gym wear. Please DO NOT bring fast fashion brands like Shein, Temu, Kmart, H&M, Target, Big W, or Boohoo. You get the idea, we want you to walk away with quality items that you can cherish, not walk away disappointed by poor quality items brought.

FAQ's 

Is this only Women's clothing ? 

- This is a women's and kids clothing swap. 

Who can attend? 

-Those who have bought a ticket for the event and are 18yrs and older. Mums with little bubs that can't we away from each other (Bubs that are baby carrier age please) Not older kids in prams ( there will be alcohol and nibbles within reach, hazard) 

What if my size isn’t available in the swap ? 

- We can't guarantee that you will find the size you are looking for but we have made it that everyone who books states which sizes they are bringing along. There will also be accessories and shoes up for grabs 

Can I hold onto my items until I see what is on offer just incase ? 

- Unfortunately no, when you arrive for the event, you will be checked in with your items and say far well to them, as everyone pops their swap items down on the tables and racks. Bring items that you are happy to part ways with and no emotional ties. 

Can I take more at the end if there is leftover items ? 

-No, left over items from the swap will be donated onto local charities. We are in the process of picking which ones, if you know of one, please send through a message to quibblemarket@gmail.com

What if you bring 10 items but find nothing at the event? 

- Hoping this is not the case, but unfortunately we can’t do much about this. Hoping that with the variety of items that can be brought with women's kid's clothing and accessories, that you will be able to walk away with some amazing finds, if not for yourself but maybe a friend or family member. 

Please keep the questions coming and I will add to this FAQ over the next few weeks 💜
