Planning to sort through your wardrobe while doing a de cluttering chore on this long weekend.

Are you looking to trade some gently-used clothes and get some newer outfits in return?

In the spirit of Earth Day last month The Clothing Exchange was officially launched in Auckland.

“Clothing swaps are a  green and sustainable way of getting a new wardrobe while giving your own gently-worn clothing a second life,”  reasoned owner Cathy Mellett.  As a clothing exchange member, people will be able to swap gently-worn clothing and shoes  in exchange for swapping points. Once the clothes have been accepted you are able to head back to a ‘ Clothes Swap Boutique’ for some guilt free shopping.

Your Clothing Exchange membership is valid for one year.

“It is a fun alternative and is a great way for people to go shopping while also being ‘green,’” Cathy added.  With vacancies and plans to launch her business around New Zealand  via licensing agreements, Cathy believes that the nationwide opportunities for The Clothing Exchange  are endless.
