Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the point system work?
The point system assigns value to each clothing item based on factors like retail price, brand, quality of fabric, garment condition, and trendiness. Participants earn points for the items they contribute, which can then be used to "purchase" new pieces during the swap. It's like turning your clothes into currency!
Can men also participate in the swap? Yes, men are absolutely welcome to participate! In fact, our community embraces diversity and inclusivity, and we encourage people of all genders and identities to join us. We do require at least 10 men interested in participating to guarantee a selection of clothing for them as well. If you wish to participate as a man, please send us a message directly first to express your interest. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can find garments they love, regardless of gender or identity. We look forward to having you join us!
Can I spend my points later if I don't find anything I like at the event?
Yes! Any remaining points can be saved and used at future swap events. So even if you don't find the perfect piece this time, you can still put your points to good use later on.

Participants can bring up to 6 pieces of clothing to swap. If you wish to contribute more, we greatly appreciate it, and additional items will be considered donations.
