The World Swap: Earth Day Clothing Swap

Following the incredible success of our debut event, The World Swap is back for our Earth Day Edition! We were blown away by the energy, the community, and the high-end hauls at our launch, and now we’re leveling up the experience to make it even more seamless, sustainable, and stylish.

This Earth Day, we’re proving that fashion doesn't have to cost the Earth. Every item you swap is a direct strike against fast-fashion waste—keeping quality clothes in circulation and out of landfills. By choosing to swap instead of shop new, you are actively reducing your carbon footprint while curating a wardrobe that is as unique as you are.

We’ve listened to your feedback! To ensure everyone has plenty of space to browse and access to the best racks, we’ve introduced Timed-Entry Sessions and a brand-new VIP Tier:

✨ VIP Trendsetter Status: For those who want it all. Get exclusive first access at 12:00 PM to snag the most coveted designer and vintage gems before anyone else. VIPs enjoy all-day access and a guaranteed tote bag.

🕐 Focused 105-Minute Sessions: Enjoy a more relaxed, boutique-style shopping environment. Our new timed slots (Session A & Session B) mean fewer crowds, shorter lines, and a dedicated "Rack Refresh" to keep the selection fresh.

Calling all Fashion Lovers, Trendsetters, and Content Creators: Bring your gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories (all sizes and genders welcome!) and swap them for "new-to-you" treasures.

To ensure a fair experience and maintain a great selection for everyone, we follow a 1:1 swap rule:

• The 1:1 Exchange: You will receive one "swap credit" for every item you bring, up to a maximum of 10 items. If you bring 5 items, you take 5 items home. This prevents "clearing the racks" and keeps the swap fair!
• Quality Over Quantity: Please bring only your best gently-loved pieces.
• Space & Safety: To keep our aisles clear and manageable, no wagons or large carts are permitted. Please bring your items in bags or handheld bins.

Whether you're hunting for a rare vintage find or a modern staple, The World Swap is your destination to refresh your look guilt-free. Let’s swap our way to a sustainable future!

😋 Light Bites: Fuel your fashion hunt with complimentary refreshments. It’s the perfect way to mingle with new friends between racks!

📸 Content Creator Ready: We’ve curated specific photo zones and aesthetic corners perfect for capturing your outfit of the day (OOTD) and showcasing your haul. Come camera-ready!

🎶 Vibe While You Browse: Channel your inner main character with a playlist of nostalgic anthems. From OutKast to Erykah Badu, we’re providing the ultimate throwback soundtrack for your sustainable style journey.

👯‍♀️ Bring Your Squad: This event is better together! Grab your most fashionable friends for a girls' day out or a squad link-up.
