The Clothing Exchange

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 06:34:31 +0000

I’ve been getting so many queries regarding our Swap Parties. Unfortunately they won’t be held at Winnie B’s any longer! :( So thankyou for your support!

HOWEVER don’t fret, I’d like to introduce Mia and Vanessah from The Clothing Exchange! Same concept just a different location. We’re joining forces to make them bigger and better for YOU!

There has been a surge of interest in ethical issues around shopping, particularly regarding landfill and the link to global warming. The $1.7 billion Australians spend on clothing and accessories each year is turning into a landfill problem: just look at the bags bulging with discards dumped out. Until now, it has been assumed that eco-consciousness is at loggerheads with the passion for bargain-hunting and fast fashion that fuelled the continuing chain-store boom. But a swap event is an opportunity for guilt-free shopping.

So why not trade shopping for swapping. It combines ethical shopping, bargain hunting and social networking – and it’s the hottest fashion trend. Buying or sharing second hand garments eliminates the need for new ones and shrinks your ecological fashion footprint.

The swapping craze has been gathering momentum for some time. The Clothing Exchange is a network that hosts swap nights at chic venues in most capital cities and is now in Perth.

Swap events book out so quickly so get in quick to book your tickets online at

The next event is on Tuesday evening 23 February 2010 at Hotel Northbridge, 210 Lake Street, Northbridge. Garment check in is from 6.30pm, swapping commences at 7.30pm sharp! Tickets cost $25 and includes a glass of bubbly on arrival, exclusive access to image consultants from Morph Me Image Consultants and the swapping event.

Special offer for Winifred & Bance clients, email perth@clothingexchange.com.au to purchase your tickets for only $15!
