The Big Swap Shop Party
Published
This Climate Action Week let’s make sustainable fashion the latest trend.
From professional thrifters to pre-loved fashion newbies – everyone is invited to the Big Swap Shop Party! Swap shops are an environmentally friendly way to expand the life span of a garment and reduce waste by keeping clothes out of landfill. So why not snatch the opportunity to declutter your wardrobe, catch up with friends and bag yourself some seriously sustainable style, without leaving the comfort of your home… or community centre…club…office…college…or school?
Ahead of #ClimateActionWeek Fionnuala Moran gathered some of her most fashionable pals and hosted her own Big Swap Shop Party! Check it out here.
Have your own Big Swap Shop Party by following 5 easy steps:
Host, Swap, Chat, Pledge, and Post!
