This event seems to be gaining in popularity.
It was fun to watch a group of women who came and stayed for over an hour, picking out clothes, trying them on, discussing whether they suited them (or not) and then choosing which items they were taking home. And all at no cost!
Someone came in with a bag of really nice clothes and said:
“They’re all new, but I cut off all the labels as I didn’t want to be seen giving new clothes!”
“I was talking with my husband about why we seem to get quite a few new items?” writes organiser Glenys Hansen. “And I think his reasoning is correct: that many clothes are bought online and if they don’t fit, it costs too much to return the item.”
Hence the monthly clothing swap is a good answer at what to do with these items. And the community wins.
Next Clothing Swap: Saturday June 21, Anglican Church Hall, Dublin St. 10:00 – 1:00 p.m.
