Swap ‘til you drop at The Old Print Works’ clothing exchange. Trade what you no longer wear for something you’ll love. Refresh your look, sustainably. No waste, just conscious style.
Please bring a maximum of 10 good quality items to swap - clothing or fashion accessories.
We welcome people of all gender identities and expressions. This event is a supportive, affirming space for self-expression and identity through the lens of sustainable fashion. Garments will be displayed by type and will not be assigned a gender, encouraging everyone to engage with and explore clothing and style freely and in a way that feels authentic for you.
Saturday 4 October, 1-5pm
Make, Do and Mend. Share skills, stories and sustainable making. Breathe new life into tired and worn-out garments. Learn creative uses for surplus and salvaged resources.
Bring a garment you would like to mend or embellish.
Saturday 4 October, 7.30-10pm and beyond
A showcase of eco style and talent with live models and new looks throughout. Join us for a striking but relaxed presentation. Designers, local makers and prospective buyers can meet.
Refreshments will be available.
If you would like to showcase your collection at this event, please email sustainablefashion@oldprintworks.org.
Sunday 5 October, 2-6pm
An afternoon of shared ideas and community conversations about sustainable style. Insights from makers, thinkers, and changemakers. Bring your questions; find inspiration and support. Most importantly, bring yourself, whatever stage you feel you are at in your journey.
We'll be encouraging each other, through ideas and conversation, to take bold and beautiful steps towards sustainability.
