Here’s the chance for green fashionistas to pick a brand new outfit for free this weekend.
Yep you read it right, the Swishing East event takes place on Saturday at the Old Spitalfield’s Market in London. The clothes won’t cost you a penny but you do need to bring one good item of clothing to take part in the swish. That’s what its all about swishing is sharing.
Here’s how the event goes:
12noon – 2pm clothes drop off:
Bring your clothes, shoes or accessories to the swishing area and drop them off, you will receive a stamp for each item (minimum 1, maximum 5), Make sure the items you bring are of a good quality that you’d be proud for a fellow swisher to wear.
2.30pm Browsing time:
Take time to browse the goodies on display. Here’s you time to eye up the goodies but no touching until the Swish begins
3.00pm Swishing officially opens:
There will be a brief introduction to the Swish and it will then swish away!

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make this event which sounded like great fun. However, I am planning to attend the green lifestyle expo, UK AWARE which is apparently planning a clothes swap as well….

Very cool idea! I’ve picked up some great stuff at clothing swap parties. The incentive of a free green outfit is certainly cool. Here is another great place to pick up green outfits (although not free) Check out EarthShare’s new mall: http://shop.earthshare.org/shop/index/144.
Enjoy ladies and have a great Earth Day!
