Clothing swaps are a fun way to update your wardrobe without adding to the overflowing textile waste problem.
Gather friends and up to 10 items each that you are ready to part with.
OR!! Bring some fabric you’d like to swap - we can do fabric for fabric or fabric for clothes. A new feature for our Rotorua Clothing Swap.
Refreshments and a drink provided while we hang the items ready for a 7pm swap.
You'll be issued a token for each garment supplied before paying for any 'new-to-you' items with your tokens.
All garments must be in clean, wearable condition only. Women's, men's and children of any size.
- Bring a MAXIMUM of 10 garments. Please ensure the garments have NO STAINS, HOLES, and are in overall good condition. A good rule of thumb is to bring only things that you would be happy to receive yourself.
- We also ask that you please DON'T BRING garments from THE WAREHOUSE or KMART e.g. GARAGE and ANKO. We have found that people don't want them, meaning we end up with a pile of clothes from these brands after the clothes swap.
- Only bring garments you are ready to part with.
- If you’re bringing fabric, please make sure it’s a useable size for someone else. Hang onto your scraps for another event!
- Bring some gold coins incase you want to purchase additional garments after swapping.
⏰ When: 6.30pm, Thursday, November 20th
📍Where: Studio 2, The Arts Village, 1240 Hinemaru St, Rotorua 3010
🎟️ Tickets: $5 per person, includes pizza. REGISTRATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL.
Please arrive at 6:30pm to allow us time to hang out your clothes before the clothes swap commences at 7:00pm.

How it works:
