Clothing Swap: Brooklyn Clothing Exchange presents swap * meet

Hooray! Spring is on its way * So, clean out your closets and let's get our swap on!

What's a clothing swap?

A clothing swap is an excellent way to recycle clothing and other wearables. It is a time-appropriate event for people who recognize that we need creative ways to re-new our wardrobes. It is a fun, smart, eco-friendly and inexpensive way to both de-clutter and refill our closets. At the same time, you can find a bunch of new clothes and meet interesting people!

swap * meet is ongoing (bi-yearly) clothing swap social gathering that aims to lessen the amount of clothing/textiles that will end up in landfills. Through this form of recycling, participants will benefit by swapping their unwanted clothes (or other wearable accessories), meeting some cool folks while satisfying the desire for attaining something 'new'. Swappers will not acquire debt, guilt or stress from swapping.
