How It All Works
Feel Good & Look Fab
You’ll have the chance to recycle your fashion treasures and find some new ones for the coming season.
Register with us and follow the story of the events on Facebook.
So what do you need to do?
Easy Peasy
You sort through your closets and bring along treasures that are in good condition:
- Clothes – winter & summer
- Evening Wear
- Shoes
- Coats
- Bags
- Jewellery
You can bring your treasures along the day before or on the day anytime between 1 and 7pm.
If you could have clothes on hangers that would be fab. Please make sure they are clean and in good condition.
It costs 10 euro for all day access [and you receive 1 free voucher] so you can come and go at different times … we expect treasures to be coming in all day.
We give you vouchers for up to 15 items and off you go … explore all the lovely things on display.
When you have what you want then just stroll over to a table where a friendly person will take your vouchers … and you get to take home new treasures.
What if I don’t have any treasures but would like to get some fashion?
No problem. You get a free voucher with your entry fee and can then buy other vouchers for 2 euro 50 cent each.
Will there be any entertainment?
So glad you asked. Every hour on the hour we will have a short demonstration or fashion parade.
Some of our ideas include:
- Curvy Women Rule Parade [some models will be service users from St Michaels House]
- Caring for your Skin
- Refashioning Fashion
- Makeup demo
We will also have a range of stalls run by local women … natural soaps; jewellery; crafty things; hand massages; nails; and maybe even a fortune teller!
We’ll also be giving away prizes every hour of bottles of prosecco and other great gifts.
Will I be able to buy a drink and sit with friends?
It wouldn’t be proper shopping without a place to relax and have a cuppa or sip a glass of wine while you all show each other your new treasures. There will be chocolates to keep the blood sugar high for all the fashion swapping.
We’ll have social spaces where you can chill out … relax … and then leap into the fray again.
15% of the proceeds from the event will go to St Michaels House Baldoyle.
Why don’t you register with us and make sure you don’t miss out on our upcoming Fashion Swap Shop Events.
You can also follow us on Facebook.
