VINTAGE MEETS VEGAN

October 3 | 12 PM–6 PM | The MURPH | Atlanta

A day of plant-based food, vintage and upcycled style, creativity, music, wellness, shopping, and community.

Vintage Meets Vegan is a community-centered production highlighting plant-based culture, vintage style, sustainability, wellness, and mindful living while intentionally amplifying Black-, women-, LGBTQ-owned brands and underrepresented creatives.

This is an immersive event that bridges the gap between what we wear and what we eat, designed for individuals who don’t follow trends, they set them. Vintage Meets Vegan connects two worlds that already align in values: sustainable fashion and plant-based wellness.

Rooted in purpose, culture, and individuality, this experience invites guests to explore how the choices we make in our closets and kitchens are powerful acts of self-expression and sustainability.

This isn't just about food. It's not just about fashion. It's about transforming our lifestyle from the inside out.

As we experience the change of the season, it is the perfect time to slow down, take inventory of our lives, and declutter our spaces.

Bring up to 10 pieces from your closet to swap, discover something new, and connect with other guests. Have an unfinished creative project, fabric, jewelry, art, craft supplies, or something waiting for a new idea? Bring that too.

Our clothing swap is a strictly 1-for-1 exchange designed to let go of what no longer serves us and keep high-quality fashion in conscious circulation. To ensure a premium, organized shopping experience for everyone, participation is capped at a 10-item maximum per person.

When you claim your Free Clothing Swap Add-On at checkout, please select your estimated tier so our team can prepare the physical racks:

• Light Swapper: Bringing 1 to 5 items to exchange.
• Heavy Swapper: Bringing 6 to 10 items to exchange (Maximum Limit).

To maintain a high-end experience, we only accept items you would proudly gift to a good friend. You will recieve a follow-up email at a later date to confirm your participation and request for more details on the items you are donating.

• Accepted Items: Clean contemporary wear, Gently used vintage, upcycled pieces, ethical/slow-fashion brands, shoes, bags, and quality accessories.
• Not Accepted: Items with stains, holes, odors, pet hair, pilling, or broken zippers. Fast-fashion items showing heavy wear or damage will be rejected at the intake table.

At 5 PM, the Clothing Swap closes and remaining clothing will be collected by Bridge of Light, a local nonprofit providing essential resources and clothing distribution to unhoused individuals. Your contribution can continue serving a purpose beyond the event.

Vintage Meets Vegan is envisioned as more than a traditional vendor market. We intentionally uplift underrepresented entrepreneurs and community-based brands. The event will function as a cultural and educational experience centered around sustainability, style, creativity, environmental awareness, and community connection. The event will feature:

• Curated vintage and sustainable fashion vendors
• Plant-based food and beverage experiences
• Immersive workshops and community education sessions
• A sustainable fashion presentation/runway experience
• Wellness and lifestyle vendors
• Clothing swap and redistribution efforts
• Opportunities for attendees to learn about environmental impact, conscious consumption, and sustainable living practices.

Workshops & Immersive Experiences

Select experiences may be included with admission, while others may be available as optional add-on experiences designed to deepen community connection, creativity, wellness, and intentional living throughout the event.

12 PM–5 PM | Main Room

Drop into this hands-on botanical art experience connecting fashion, flowers, herbs, spices, and farm-grown ingredients.

Camp Wren brings fashion and the botanical world together through a hands-on art experience inspired by flowers, herbs, spices, and farm-grown ingredients.

Guests will paint pre-lined fashion illustrations using crushed flowers, herbs, and spices to create their own botanical-inspired designs.

The activation also explores the connection between what we grow, what we wear, and what we create. Camp Wren will share stories, images, and QR codes highlighting local farms and organic brands, giving guests an opportunity to discover the people, products, and practices behind the experience.

Come create, explore, and discover a different way to look at the things that grow around us.

TRAILBLAZERS: Wearable Storytelling Through Upcycled Fashion

Limited Seating Workshop | Available with Standard Admission | $5 Minimum Donation

1 PM–2:30 PM | Boardroom

What if the clothes we wear could tell the story of where we've been and where we're going?

In this interactive upcycling workshop, participants will transform a blazer into a personal work of wearable art using meaningful found objects, textiles, keepsakes, and repurposed materials. Through guided reflection and creative exploration, we'll honor the paths we've traveled, the lessons we've gathered, and the visions we carry for the future.

Participants are encouraged to bring a blazer along with personal embellishments such as old jewelry, brooches, buttons, patches, fabric scraps, denim flowers, logo T-shirts, heirloom pieces, keepsakes, mementos, single earrings, ribbons, trims, and other meaningful materials. Using simple attachment techniques and creative composition, each participant will create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects their unique journey.

Trailblazers is more than a fashion workshop, it's an invitation to explore memory, identity, transformation, and self-expression through wearable storytelling.

Space is intentionally limited to create a more intimate and engaging experience. A minimum $5 donation is requested and helps support future artist-led and educational experiences within the Vintage Meets Vegan community.

Info: Bring up to 10 pieces from your closet to swap, discover something new, and connect with other guests. Have an unfinished creative project, fabric, jewelry, art, craft supplies, or something waiting for a new idea? Bring that too.
