Community Clothes Swap June 2025

Have you got clothes, shoes, and accessories you no longer wear? Do you want to know more about being sustainably stylish? 

Did you know that Australia is the second largest consumer of new textile in the world???

Then join us Saturday 28 June at the Len Packham Clubrooms, Coolbellup, for our Community Clothes Swap/Fashion Exchange!

It’s your chance to update your wardrobe with a good quality pre-loved fashion treasure hunt!

With special guest speaker Loraine Martin our Feel Good Fashionista, you will walk away from the event with a new outlook on shopping and “new” items in your wardrobe!

Loraine will provide a presentation on how to dress more sustainably, shop mindfully and get tips and tricks to help reduce textile waste. 
 
In under 2 hours, you could have a whole “new” wardrobe for free.

All you need to do is bring along quality clothes (clean/no stains/holes/damages/broken zips..), shoes, and accessories you don’t wear anymore (any style or season) and exchange them for items you will.

Bring up to 5 items and take as many as you like, and best of all, it’s FREE. 

Check-list prior to the event:

• Are your items cleaned and free from permanent stains, holes, tears and/or anything that would make it unfit for resell?


• Underwear, sleepwear and tired gym clothes will not be accepted.

This event is part of our “Textile Waste Reduction Program”.

Sustainability is a key strategic value for the City of Cockburn.

Our vision is to manage our waste services sustainability and lead and support a community that avoids waste generation, reduces environmental impacts and recognises that waste is a valuable resource to be recovered, reused and recycled.
