Community Clothes Swap

  • McNeills 106 Torrisdale Street Glasgow, Scotland, G42 8PH United Kingdom (map)

Welcome to < The Swap Club > Glasgow!​​​​

Millions of people work in textile, clothing and footwear production around the world. The vast majority are not paid enough to fulfill their basic needs. ​​​​​​​​None of us want the purchases we make to exploit people and we also want to feel good about the clothes we wear. As a small community, we can’t solve overconsumption and exploitation but we can exercise our power of choice!

Let’s come together and celebrate fashion and our style in a way that doesn’t cost the planet.How it worksBring a maximum of 10 items of clothing, footwear or accessories freshly cleaned and ready to go on the rails. We are an inclusive event, ideal for ages 16 - 100! There is no age or size limit on sustainable style so expect sizes from 6-24.

We operate a point system. This is a community-driven swap where we accept items from high street up to high end. All items must be clean and in good condition with no holes, stains, rips, broken zips, or scuffs. Any points not claimed can be carried over to our next swap event happening in March. Itens not permittedSwimwear, underwear, nightwear, earrings, electrical items, furniture, or sharp objects.

Please note: We stagger entry to avoid overcrowding and reduce your waiting time when checking in. Please arrive at the time stated on your ticket - thank you!

We want our events to be inclusive. If the ticket cost will be a barrier, please select the ‘Pay What You Can' ticket option. There are 15 available in total - 5 for each of the 3 swap time slots.

Your style doesn’t need to be a disposable microtrend. Our aim is to swap behaviours, knowledge, and clothes. We’re so looking forward to seeing you!
