Swap Circle at Center for Creativity: Clothing Swap

Join and for an afternoon of shared community, creative exchange and joy!

This isn’t just a clothing swap. It's an invitation to slow down, rethink how we consume, and build something more generous together. One garment at a time.

Bring up to 20 special clothing or accessory items you know someone else would love. These will be “gifts” to your fellow swappers. (When you go through your closet, choose things you would proudly give a good friend). You will receive tokens for your items, bring up to 20 items. You will use these tokens to then "shop" during the event.

• Clothing — items should be for adults (all genders) and clean; please do not bring workout gear, socks or undergarments, swimsuits, lingerie or children’s clothing.
• Accessories — includes purses, belts, sunglasses, scarves, hats (please do not bring jewelry)
• Mendable items are welcome.
• Please do not bring items on hangers.

We encourage participants to drop-off items in advance at the Center for Creativity, located at 800 Main Street, Redwood City on Saturday September 13 from 10am-2pm . When you drop off your items, you will receive tokens that will allow you to then “shop” the event on Sunday, September 14 from 1pm-4pm.

You can also bring your items the day of the event beginning at 1pm. Note: you may be required to display your items before you start browsing, so dropping off beforehand is recommended.

If you brought items in advance and have tokens, please proceed into the event and enjoy perusing items! Each token indicates the number of items that you can bring home with you.

If you are bringing items the day of the event, please go to the CHECK-IN table to collect your tokens and to receive instructions on where to display your items. Remember that you may be required to display your items before you start browsing, so dropping off beforehand on Saturday September 13 from 10am-2pm is recommended.

The building capacity is 50 people at a time. You may spend some time meeting fellow swappers while you wait.

SWAP CIRCLE stylists will be on-hand during the event to help you put together outfits or find that perfect item you’ve been searching for. This is a free, optional service.

There will be several private and semi-private changing areas.

Please bring an empty reusable bag to carry your swap items home.

Please leave personal belongings such as your coat or purse in your vehicle, so they don’t get mixed into the swap items.

When you are finished “shopping”, visit our CHECK-OUT table to redeem your tokens for your chosen items.

Please see a Swap Circle or CfC staff member if you have questions. You can usually find us at the tables. We'll be wearing yellow lanyards.

Redwood City offers convenient Downtown parking in lots, garages, and on-street spaces. The CfC recommends Marshall and Jefferson parking garages. You can find parking info here.
