Threading Change is hosting another Vancouver Clothing Swap! Come to meet the Threading Change community and bring your pre-loved items!

This is a very special swap with local crafters, vendors and businesses joining our swap!

Swapping instead of buying new is a great way to exercise sustainable practices in your wardrobe. Did you know that only 1% of textiles around the world are recycled properly? Keep your old clothes out of the landfill, and give them a new life by swapping and trading. As the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure!

Learn more about What Really Happens to Donated Clothes?-And what can we do with them instead on our blog!

Attendees are asked to bring 1-20 items each to swap. You will be given a ticket for every item you bring in. However many items you bring, that's how many you can take.

Please note: No socks, swimsuits, and underwear at the swap. Jewelry can be swapped if it has been cleaned. Kids' clothing are also welcomed.

Swimsuits and bras can be swapped if they have never been worn, ideally with the tag still attached.

*Change rooms will be limited*

Come by to meet the Threading Change community and bring your pre-loved items to share and swap!

About us

Threading Change is a youth-led, justice-oriented global organization created to address the systemic injustices and inequities that persist in the global fashion industry today.

We address the fashion industry holistically, which includes everything from the way we communicate sustainable fashion to how invite global communities affected by the industry at the table. Fashion can be a hugely wasteful industry, using excessive resources like water and textiles and over-producing clothes through trends.

We respectfully acknowledge that the Threading Change Headquarters and Swap are located on the unceded, traditional and ancestral xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territories.
