Sip & Swap Soiree

Mark your diaries for a free Sip & Swap Soiree across two sessions in February. Now's the time to raid your wardrobe and give those forgotten pieces a second chance and walk away with new pre-loved finds.

Meet and mingle in the intimate space of The Studio, over cold pressed juices and Nodo treats, as you donate or swap your contributions of slow fashion, vintage, handmade or local designer finds.

At the event, you will experience a fashion workshop with Westfield Personal Stylist, Sara Hatten-Masterson who will help you to revive those pre-loved pieces into coveted wardrobe staples. All attendees will go into the draw to WIN a Personal Styling Session with Sara, valued at $200. See T&Cs here >
