This event is for the men and masculine presenting people to help reduce textile waste. Since clothing doesn’t have a gender, this is for everyone but we want more masculine clothing.

Happening at TREEHOUSE this, Saturday Feb 24 2024

Get ready to swap your gently used clothing, shoes, accessories and novelties with others in the community. This is a great opportunity to refresh your wardrobe without spending a dime.

Bring 5 items to trade and leave with some new-to-you pieces to elevate your style game.

(this is not a place for you to sell your items, just swap them)

Check out @streetsmarttailoring @conceptualcconsumerism & @dcgoodwill for upcycling ideas, tailoring info and local styles. Don't miss out on this fun and sustainable way to update your look.

See you there!

PLEASE NOTE : We encourage you to wear something you've received from a previous SwapDC event. This is not a swap, so please hold off on the clothing donations for our October swap.
