Thursday October 2nd from 5 - 8pm
at 700 Dexter Ave ( suite 201 ) Seattle WA 98109
join us for a fall fashion inspired clothing swap at our newest pop-up activation in South Lake Union. inspired by vintage, second-hand and circular fashion - our aim is to bring together community and introduce you to new ways to re-think your wardrobe and what it means to shop "sustainably".
cake + wine ( and N/A options ) will be available to snack & sip while you shop, swap and make new friends.
How it will work - bring up to (5) pieces of gently worn ( vintage or secondhand ) clothing to swap. We ask that your items are washed or dry-cleaned and ready to be passed along to a new owner. Please skip fast fashion & work-out wear/leisurewear , and focus on fall items and natural fabrics ( wool, cotton, silk, linen etc. ) Imagine the items you would gift to a friend - something you might still wear or own that doesn't work for you at the moment. We want to encourage mindful swapping, and help keep pieces circulating amongst like-minded individuals.
Clothing Rack + Hangers will be provided to you. RSVPs are required to ensure we can prepare enough space for what you will bring.
Michelle, owner of blaksands - is on a mission to cultivate a positive and welcoming community of like-minded people ; one where we feel safe to connect, share and seek advice.
Your ticket includes; access to the event and 10% off your in-store purchase* from blaksands. *the Beanie is excluded from this discount offer. Discount only applies to purchases made in-person at Studio Forma on Thursday October 2nd.
You can swap for as many items as you bring - bring 5 items and take ( up to ) 5 items. Any left-over items will be donated to Mary's Place.
Space is limited. Please RSVP to reserve your spot!
