Do you love clothes with soul, immersive art, skilled classes, and community?
Join us for Boston’s largest-ever clothing swap, where you’ll update your fall wardrobe with special finds curated by your neighbors. Bring your favorite clothes with holes that need patching or stains that we can cover with silk screen printed logos and plant dyes to bring your favorite fits back to life.
We’ll have amazing snacks, legendary speakers, live artists and exhibitions, and opportunities to meet new people who share your passion for fashion and a livable future.
Fun for all ages and stages, including kiddos - and calm, leashed companion animals.
Beginning at noon until 2pm, our attendees will be welcomed to mix and mingle as they bring up to five pieces of clothing they love and want to give away to the exchange (in addition to a few items they want to rejuvenate). Our stations for plant dying, silk screen printing, repairs, and a bioplastic jewelry-making table will be up and running.
Attendees are welcome to take away as many articles of clothing as they want!
From 3pm - 6pm, our attendees are welcome to join interactive presentations about the future of sustainable fashion, biotechnology with mushrooms and fruit leathers, and revolutionary textile solutions to keep our city cool in the future. All of our stations will be buzzing as you enjoy live artists painting, view original exhibitions by local artists, and of course find and fix your new favorite clothes
