LET'S GET SWAPPING WANAKA!
19 Ardmore Street
Written by: Wanaka Swaps
With the aim of keeping fashion circular while reducing local clothing waste, Wanaka Swaps is returning for another amazing weekend of clothes swapping. The swap is a non-profit, community fundraiser with all money raised going towards a local charity that event attendees vote for. Inspired by a close friend who ran a similar enterprise in Canada, Wanaka Swaps organiser Emma Edwards is passionate about conscious fashion and excited that the Wanaka community is so supportive of this event. “Last year we raised over $2,300 both through the clothing swap and our fundraising raffle and was donated to Food for Love.”
FOR SALE
“I am really interested in the slow fashion movement, capsule wardrobes and actually wearing the clothes you own. The Swap is a way
we can address fashion waste on a local level and think about how we consume clothing while also having a whole lot of fun. There are a lot of amazing items that have already been donated ready to find new homes.” The Swap works like this: Donate a bag of clothing & entry is $5 allowing you to fill a reusable shopping bag with new to you items. If you have nothing to donate, entry is $10 to fill your bag. Event attendees decide through a vote where the money raised goes, allowing different local charities to benefit as our needs as a community change.
