No Frills All Fun Clothing Swap and Repair Day

Our annual No frills, All fun Clothing Swap &amp; Repair Day is a down-and-dirty community over capitalism event with the intention of mitigating textile waste by extending garment life and circulation. We bring on local seamstresses and artisans for on-site clothing repairs and customizations and work to support our friends at <a href="https://www.ontherise.org/">On The Rise</a> Cambridge. Details: Bring up to 15 items, including gently used, clean clothing and accessories you are no longer wearing, that don’t fit, or you realized you never should have bought to swap with our community for things you do want. You can take as MUCH as you like. Bring 15 - leave with 2 or 20 (up to you). Cost: Sliding scale fee of $5 to $25 to help us cover administrative costs and fundraising. Repairs: Onsite simple repairs plus more complex will be available. Repairs are NOT FREE! Costs are handled by the individual seamstresses and atists and they are not connected to We Thieves - repair costs start at $5 and go up from there. We simply provide a space for them to work their magic. What to bring:<ul><li>Clothing that is in good condition and wearable. MUST BE clean, no smells, holes, or irreparable damage.</li><li>All brands, genders and sizes.</li><li>Accessories such as handbags, hats, bags, belts, shoes (in good, clean condition). Do not bring in your busted shoes.</li><li>HANGERS help clothes swap better! Clothing that requires hanging (dresses, coats) MUST BE ON HANGERS - this helps us circulate better.. It will be difficult to keep track of whose is whose, so feel comfortable donating the hangers you provide or swap hangers with those that are empty. You can take your hangers home with you once swap is done or if hangers become available during the swap.</li><li>BYOB - Bring your own bags and beverages! This is no frills - the only frilly thing is the incredible historical building we will be in!</li></ul>ABSOLUTELY NO: Underwear, heavily worn shoes, dirty or irreparably damaged clothes. We will review garments prior to entry. The management of our unwanted textiles is laborious and time-consuming. Please respect our community and us organizers. How we dispose of our textile waste is correlated to how we consume it. Please be mindful. Early drop-off between 9 and 11 a.m. before the swap to allow us to prepare in advance and ensure a smoother event. We can't wait to see and be with you for one of the most amazing and fun days we hold for our community!
