Do you have clothes you love, but just don’t wear anymore? You can’t be bothered selling them, but you also know that more than 50% of donated clothes end up in landfill - not exactly an earth-friendly option! You probably also want new clothes, but you’re clever enough to know how bad fast fashion is for the environment (not to mention unethical labour practices!)...
Solution: HASS Clothes Swap! Bring your old clothes that need a new home and take home someone else’s that need re-loving.
We will be located in Room 273, Global Change Institute during Sustainability Week!
Wanting to drop your clothes in before the event? Get in touch with our Clothes Swap Team through our facebook event page "HASS Clothes Swap". Otherwise, just bring your clothes on the day!
* Important Note: we want to make this as sustainable and accessible as possible, and as such it is a free swap, not a sale. It's also not a direct swap (where you literally exchange your clothes for someone else's) but rather a collective swap, where we all put in clothes we no longer want, and take-home preloved clothes we will be able to make good use of!
