Sharing and repairing our clothes:
The Swap Shop Toolkit with
Future Fashion Fair

Let's face it, our relationship with clothes is complicated. We love them, we hate them, and we can't seem to get enough of them.

But have you ever stopped to think about where your clothes come from and where they go once you're done with them?

The truth is that the fashion industry has a dark side that we often overlook.

But it's not all doom and gloom! There are things we can do to make a difference, and sharing and repairing clothes is the perfect place to start.

Sharing and repairing clothes isn't anything new. We've been doing it since the dawn of time - passing down clothes through family and friends, sharing hand-me-downs between siblings, and borrowing outfits from our besties. But somewhere along the way, we lost our way. We became obsessed with newness and the latest trends, buying clothes that were cheap and low quality, and throwing them away after just a few wears.

What if we could change that?

Enter the clothes swap toolkit: We’ve partnered with Future Fashion Fair to help people navigate why longevity in clothing is important, provide tools to make actionable changes in their wardrobe and inspire people to value their clothes more!

In this toolkit, Future Fashion Fair will guide you through the benefits of making our clothes last longer through swapping, sharing, or repairing and offer some tips on how to get started, and setting up your own shop or community.

Whether you're a seasoned clothes swapper or a newbie to the world of sustainable fashion, we want this guide to be for everyone. So, settle in, and let's talk about how we can make the world a better place, one outfit at a time.
