You may or may not have heard of the clothes-swapping phenomenon known as “swishing”.
To “swish”, means that you get together with like-minded individuals and exchange any unworn garments that you have in your wardrobe. So, in one swift transaction, you can offload your unloved clothes and gain a whole new exciting wardrobe!
Swishing has been a long-time favourite with Hollywood stars such as Reese Witherspoon, but now a new company called Top Swop is bringing swishing to a much larger and more exciting level here in Ireland!
Every couple of weeks, Top Swop organizes large clothes-swapping events in Limerick, Tipperary and Kilkenny. Its genius lies in its simplicity. Let me tell you how it works:
- Arrive at the event with 2-5 garments that you no longer wear.
- Check-in your garments between 1.30 – 3.30pm.
- Your garments are graded on the basis of quality and style.
- Receive a swap card with a valuation for your garments.
- You choose as many garments from the selection at the event, up to the value of your swap card.
- You go home with a brand new wardrobe!
Don’t for a second think that Top Swop events are jumble sales. Quite the contrary in fact. Only items that are on-trend, clean and of high quality will be accepted by the event organizers. Not only can you expect a large selection of clothing sizes, styles and brands, that you can swap for free, the event organisers have some additional treats in store, including brand new jewellery, occasional hats and headpieces, and Italian footwear and bags for sale at discounted prices. There will also be makeovers and cosmetics samples provided by Avon Cosmetics.
Cover charge €10pp. For information on dates, venues and "dos and don'ts" visit Top Swop’s website, Facebook page or ring 087-6942967.
Yours in style,
Caroline
