About this Event
LOANHOOD Hackney clothes swap
CLOTHES SWAP
We offer a token system for customers who bring no more than 5 items. Items will be categorised into relevant tiers (1, 2) based on the type, brand and condition. This will dictate how many tokens the customer can then use to shop for new items. 2 token items will have a yellow sticker assigned to them.
Have any festive wear... bring it down and swap for a new to you party outfit.
REPAIR
The Seam will be on hand for clothes repairs and customisations all day. The Seam helps to make sustainable living easy and exciting. See something you like but want it mini not midi... get it taken up there and then. It's as simple as that.
Stitch it, don't ditch it!

-----
LOANHOOD is the fashion rental app made for people who want to wear new stuff without buying new. Done with waiting for a sustainable change to happen, its three female co-founders came together to make it happen. On the app, Loaners can borrow other people’s clothes or rent out their own to make some money. It’s reinventing the way fashion works (for the better).
It’s not just clothes LOANHOOD like to share. We’ve got a lot of knowledge about the fashion industry and sustainability. We want to get everyone hyped up on slowing down fast fashion with events like clothes swaps, educational workshops, supper clubs, and festival clean-ups.
