Give Laugh Swap – The Fashion Swap Shop On In Dublin 8 This Month
Let's get swapping!
Are you in need of a wardrobe re-fresh?
A swap shop might be the suss!
For those of you who aren’t familiar, swap shops are events where you can swap items of clothing with other people.
They promote slow fashion, give you the chance to shed some of your pre-loved bits, and to nab some new pieces without breaking the bank.
Plus it’s a lot more exciting than your regular clothes shop, because you never know what gems you might uncover!

How does it work?
First, buy a ticket here for €6.00.
Then, get choosing what you want to bring! Each person can bring a maximum of 12 items to the swap shop. Your pieces need to be in good condition with no rips, holes or stains – think of items you’d love to find yourself.
When you arrive, you’ll get a token for each item of clothing you bring, which can be used to take other clothes of your liking.

There’ll also be a bar to get a drink or tea, coffee and cakes while you swap. DJ Alan Finan will be providing the tunes so there’ll be a good buzz, and everyone is welcome.
Here’s to earth friendly shopping!
