🚨 MORE TICKETS RELEASED! 🚨

Penrith’s future is taking a fashionably sustainable leap forward this year as Council prepares to host its first “Wardrobe ReSTYLE & Swap” event.

We’re excited to join forces with esteemed eco-stylist, and renowned fashionista Nina Gbor for a styling workshop as she demonstrates how staple wardrobe items can be (re)styled in multiple ways to suit any occasion and body type - quashing the narrative that keeping up with trends means we must buy new!

Then, it’s time for the Clothes Swap! 💃

This isn’t just any swap—it’s a vibrant, community-driven event where you can trade your clothes (five quality pieces) and reduce your impact on the environment.

Attendees must be willing to bring five quality items from their own wardrobe to contribute to the clothes swap collection pool.

When deciding what garments to bring to the swap event ask yourself the following questions:

· Would you be happy to wear the item if it was given to you by a friend?

· Is the item clean and free from rips, stains, odours, and pet hair?

· Do any zips, ties, buttons, and buckles on the item function well?

If the answer is ‘no’ to any of these, then the item won’t be considered suitable for this event.

Don’t miss out on this chance to refresh your wardrobe and appreciate the charm of quality and lasting value.

Event Itinerary:

✔️ 5:30 pm – 6:30pm: Check-in

Registered participants bring their five clothing items from home to contribute to the ‘swap’ collection.

Attendees can mingle while enjoying a bite to eat and live music entertainment!

👗 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm: Restyling workshop with Nina Gbor

Revamp your wardrobe at our pop-up clothing exchange market with a difference! It’s your chance to select up to five quality pre-loved clothing items to take home. Feel good and look fantastic in fresh threads without hurting your finances or the planet.

Garments leftover

New items will be donated to charities such as Women’s Shelter and Westcare in alliance with local business Textile Recyclers Australia (TRA). If items aren’t in wearable condition, through TRA, items will be cleaned, shredded and spun into new yarn, to make new products.
