Swap Swop

2 years back, i attended Swirl's Swop Swap at their boutique at Stamford House.

Based on the belief that one man's trash is another man's treasure, anyone is welcome to bring their pre-loved clothes (i.e. impulsive buys, clothes which no longer fit, but are still in good condition. NOT the raggedy t-shirts you sleep in) and pick up other pre-loved treasures. At the end of the day, whatever clothes not taken would be donated to charity by the Swirl owners. To be fair to others, you are only allowed to bring back clothes in the bag which you brought along, to prevent freeloaders from stashing bagfuls of clothes home.

I went away with a Mango workdress the last time i was there, which i still wear till this day :)

But now that the Swirl boutique has since closed, the event is no longer organised.

What a pity, maybe i would pull together some friends and organise one when the new place is done!
