OVERLAP-FASHION-SWAP ad WERF
We will be unpacking again at Kunstwerkplaats de Möllerwerf during Circular Economy Week. Four days of clothes swapping, sustainable and not expensive!
Bring fashionable, clean, ironed and intact garments or accessories (adult), to a maximum of 5 items.
You score points with quality and special pieces. The points can be exchanged again for other items. If you don't find what you were looking for or have points left after swapping, you get a points card for a next swap.
No points? Then buying (cash or debit card) is also an option or paying extra in case of insufficient points.
We treat and present the clothes with care, which is why we charge a service fee of €3,00 per person per swap (a range between 1 to 5 pieces). Still have points left from our previous swaps, bring them along!
And there's more...
- The Ecopolitan dress with prints of the Ecopolitan Magazines #2 en #3 is on display and both editions are there for perusal.
- A Fashion-Photo-Booth, Shoot a nice pic and post your 'new' outfit on social media.
- In the greenhouse there are books and (sustainable) fashion magazines, cozy with a cup of coffee and some sweets.
- Bring your broken socks or jumper to repair it yourself (some darning material, wool and needles will be provided, but you may of course bring your own).
Or just warm up by the woodstove.
