Adult Clothing Swap

What is a clothing swap?Upcycle Treasure Box’s Community Clothing Swap is an amazing way to get a new wardrobe with the earth in mind! Bring clothes you no longer want (but are still in fine shape) and take home new-to-you items from the swap. We’ve got lots of details below so please read through the entire FAQ before buying your ticket.We will still be collecting all donations ahead of the swap and counting on our amazing volunteers to pre-sort the clothing. For now, though higher, there will still be a limit on tickets sold so we can ensure the best selection and we encourage you to purchase in advance. If you’re eager to get a sneak peek at the clothes, you can purchase a VIP ticket for $20 to come 30 minutes in advance (while tickets last). We will also offer at the door tickets for $25As always, you’re encouraged to swap with community in mind! We will still be accepting clothing donations ahead of time from everyone, including folks who do not plan to attend the swap.Clothes can be donated during our operating hours the week ahead of the swap.If you would like to be a sponsor to get your brand in front of our clients for refreshments please contact [email protected] FAQs:How does it work?We will be accepting clothing donations prior to the swap. No clothing donations will be accepted the day of the swap. You can donate clothes in good condition even if you are not planning to attend to ensure we have a wide selection. We are always looking for more donations size large and up as the fashion industry offers less variety in larger sizes and they are not as widely available as small + medium. Volunteers will sort the clothes by item in advance and swappers will be able to browse and select clothes just like at a store. The great news is, unlike a store, you won’t pay by item for things you take home. Instead, we will weigh your clothes to know how many pounds we are diverting from the landfill.We encourage you to purchase your swap ticket in advance as this event tends to sell out. Your ticket includes entry to the event and the clothes you find to take home.What does it cost to attend?Entry to the swap costs $15. To help raise funds for our creative reuse mission, a limited number of early access VIP tickets will be available for $20. If you’re looking for the thriftiest way to check out the swap, you can purchase an end-of-day ticket for $10. There will be at door tickets available $25.When should I arrive?If you purchase a general admission ticket to the swap, you may drop in anytime between 1:00 and 3:30 and swap for as long as you’d like within the window. We expect the beginning of the swap to be the busiest, so plan accordingly (and know we appreciate your patience at check-in).Where can I park?Free street parking on Gravois is available. Parking on our lot will likely be most limited at the beginning of the event.Can I pay at the door?We encourage you to buy a ticket in advance as tickets tend to sell out. If we don’t sell out you can pay at the door for $25.What items can I bring?Wearable items in good condition including:Dresses / Shorts / Skirts / Shirts / Pants / Jeans / Shoes / Jewelry / Jackets + Coats/ Bags / Sunglasses/ Scarves + HatsWe do not accept children’s items or home goods. Thank you for understanding!Will there be limits on what I can take?Not at this time. One of the great things about the swap is that we want as much clothing to find new homes as possible so normally there is no restriction. We do ask that you’re mindful of folks who are coming later in the day and kindly request no resellers or swapping for other friends not attending the swap on their own.Can I donate kids clothing?Sorry, we are not accepting kids clothes for the swap. Just clothing and accessories for adults!Will there be fitting rooms?Sorry, our space isn’t set-up for fitting rooms at this time. You may try things on over the clothes you wear to the swap if you are comfortable doing so. If you take home items that don’t end up fitting, you’re encouraged to donate them back to the next swap.What happens to the leftover clothing?We will collect the items that can be used in the workshop for classes and events. Then, the leftover items are donated to Remains, Inc., a local textile recycling company.What if I have clothes in pretty bad shape that are no longer wearable?While we always encourage folks to do their best to extend the life of clothing through proper care and mending, we know sometimes you have textiles that are no longer wearable and probably won’t be taken from the swap. We request you take these items directly to Remains so our volunteers don’t spend extra time sorting and hanging these clothes.
