Big hot clothes swap! Promoting a circular economy 🌎🛍️ for the babes the femmes the lads the dudes!

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Super inspiring tour of the TRAID warehouse today, where all items donated through donation bins, home collections and unsold stock donated by brands are sorted through by hand.

90% of clothing processed by TRAID is diverted from landfill or incineration by being resold through their shops and wholesale, redirected to other charities in need of clothing donations, used in artist and university collaborations, or recycled into building materials.

In the UK, an estimated 300,000 tonnes of clothes are sent to landfill or incineration each year. If you laid those clothes flat, end-to-end, they would form a fabric path long enough to wrap around the Earth 18 times.💀

After our last swap, we sorted the clothes left over at the end of the night, keeping some pieces for our next event and putting together a donation for TRAID. It was lovely to see where our donation goes in real life and the care that goes into sorting and handling each item.

Thank you to TRAID for having us today 💚 by @hotswapldn

"Right now, there are enough clothes on this planet to dress the next six generations.”

Super inspiring lecture with Jose Baladron from TRAID today, giving us an insight into their behind-the-scenes process and the scale of clothing reuse in London. We’ll be visiting the TRAID warehouse next week, where every item donated through their bins around London is sorted by hand.

It was a really interesting reminder of the importance of keeping clothes in circulation and finding new ways to extend the life of what we already have - one of the reasons we started HOT SWAP. by @hotswapldn

We’re still feeling so overwhelmed by all the love, support and good vibes from Saturday’s clothes swap! 💖

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along, brought their pre-loved pieces, trusted the swapping process and helped make the day so special. It was so nice seeing everyone head home with pieces they loved, and seeing the joy when someone else fell in love with something you’d donated. 🌎💙

We loved meeting you all, watching conversation strike up between strangers as the swaps happen and, dancing into the night together thanks to our amazing DJs @helenacwilliams @julietteidas @milliebethwright

We’re already getting to work on the next one, so keep your eyes peeled for more details coming very soon… 💌💌

We’ll be sending out a feedback form to all ticket holders soon to make it even smoother for next time. Thank you for being part of it, we can’t wait to do it all again!
