The Swap Shop
At The Swapshop, ‘Swapping is the new buying’. This is where you can hand in your previous favorites in exchange for ‘swaps’ (points). The swaps give you a 50% discount on the retail price of all items on the racks.
Even if you haven’t brought any of your own clothes along with you, you are still always welcome to purchase all items featured, sans the discount however. The Swapshop seeks to promote and be part of a sustainable and circular clothing industry.
