The time has come, ladies. We will be hosting a fabulously fun fashion swap for charity! This is your opportunity to update your jewellery box and accessory drawer. It’s all about having a fun time with fellow fashion lovers and giving your wallet a break. Put this event in your calendar and start searching for all of the swap-worthy items in your drawers and closets. No clothing or shoes, just accessories please. Dig out the sunglasses and bracelets that have outlived their use and grab the hats or purses that you have one too many of. Swap and recycle among eco-conscious Fashionistas, just like yourself. You’re sure to score some fab fashion finds without breaking the bank and give your pre-loved items a new life. What more could a girl want?

How Will It Work?
Bring at least one piece of jewellery or fashion accessory to trade. It’s best to bring 5 various items. For every item you bring, you will receive one bartering token which will serve as your swap currency to exchange for another item. Item value should not exceed $50. For the sake of swapping simplicity, we’ll assume that all items have an equal value and are equally barter-worthy! It’s for charity, right?
When you arrive, we will record the number of items you’ve brought and hand you your tokens. All items will be placed on common tables. Once you have dropped off your unloved fashion accessories, be sure to browse what’s available, mingle with the other fashion lovers and enjoy some light refreshments and nibbles. After all, a girl can’t swap on an empty stomach!
The swapping fun will commence around 1:35pm. To ensure fairness, we’ll pick names out of a hat so, one-by-one, each person will have their own time to select what they would like to take back. Each participant will be able to grab one item on their first round. Once everyone has picked an item, we will go on to round two, once again drawing names from a hat. In the last few rounds, it will be a ‘free for all’! Any leftovers will be donated to a charity.
What can be swapped?
You can bring necklaces, pendants, rings, brand new earrings, scarves, belts, gloves, pins, bags, handbags, hats, ladies watches, fashion brooches, ladies wallets, and other fashion accessories.
A Few Guidelines:
1. Bring at least 1 item to swap, but no more than 5 items.
2. Items must be in good condition.
3. Please don’t bring used earrings, used hair accessories, shoes or counterfeit branded products. If we feel the item is unsuitable, we may not be able to include it in the swap.
4. One item equals one token.
5. Keep in mind that all swaps are final.
6. Doors open at 1:00pm. Please try to drop off all your items by 1:30pm at the latest. The swapping will start around 1:35pm. We don’t want to leave you out, so come early!
7. Be prepared for a fun time!
Looking forward to seeing you all!
