How to participate:

1. CONFIRM your attendance by getting a ticket now

2. BAG your clothes -- download, print and fill out this handy label and attach it to every bag of clean and folded clothing you'd like to swap. (Want to know what not to swap? Click here for some tips, or see our laundering policy below.)

 

3. BRING your clothes to the event -- MAX LIMIT of 10 of your best pieces of clothing, shoes and/or accessories (including jewelry).

NOTE: If you dropped off your clothing prior to June 26 and bought your ticket, please come to the "Prepaid" entrance at the event to claim your exchange coupons.

We do not accept:
Bathrobes, pyjamas, t-shirts, underwear, lingerie, swimwear, tank tops, socks, or stockings. Likewise, we do not issue exchange coupons for ripped, faded, torn, stained, scratched, dirty, frayed, missing buttons, broken zippers or otherwise worn/damaged items. Items received that fail to meet these standards will be given to Renaissance for recycling.

Laundering policy strictly enforced
As a courtesy to fellow swappers, please wash all clothing items you'd like to swap in hot water and dry on high for a minimum of 20 minutes (or: have them dry cleaned and keep them in the original plastic covering with a knot on the bottom). When the laundering cycles are complete, the clean laundry should be placed in new, clear garbage bags and sealed. We inspect everything that comes in and reserve the right to reject any item or bag of clothing that does NOT appear to comply with our policy. 

Clothing donations
Can't come to the event but want to support our cause with some donated clothing? Download this label, print/fill it out, attach it to each bag of clothing and drop off your clothing here.

Let's beat our 2010 record of nearly 12,000 garments. Sharing is good!

The SWAP Team

  

Hi there!

We're The SWAP Team, a nonprofit social enterprise based in Montreal, Canada run by volunteers. Pioneers of the clothing swap trend, our popular event Take Off Your Clothes has excited audiences since 2007. Our many chapters have hosted events in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, Boston, MA, Winnipeg and New York City.

You might spot us in fashion magazines Clin d'OeilLoulou, Mlle and Zink Magazine or in news outlets CBC-TV, Radio-Canada, CBC-Radio, Montreal GazetteCalgary HeraldOttawa CitizenThe Globe and Mail, National Post and many others.

To date, we've swapped over 30,000 garments, donated over 37,000 garments to charities and diverted a whopping 67,000 garments from landfills. Best of all, we've helped people save over half a million dollars simply by swapping instead of shopping!

Help us spread the word: SHARING IS GOOD!
