Clothes Swap & Interactive Workshops with the T-REX Project

Break fast fashion

A garment’s life is a journey, and each has its own story. Break the fast fashion cycle and reduce the industry’s negative impact on the planet by shopping and swapping your next look instead!

T-REX Project and Aalto University

For this edition, Fashion for Good is joining forces with the T-REX Project and Aalto University, who will be hosting two interactive workshops that invite you to reflect on personal meanings and challenges through experiences of your own clothes. There will also be an opportunity to explore upcycling and recycling by creating your own story tags for used garments, where you can learn about different options available for garments you no longer wear.

How to join the swap?

Drop off your pre-loved items at the Fashion for Good Museum (Rokin 102, Amsterdam) from May 1 to May 6 (daily between 11 am - 5 pm). The museum asks you to please hand in your items in the days prior to the event so they can make sure everything is checked and ready before the swapping starts!

Clothes Swap rules

You can hand in a maximum of 5 items per person The following types of clothing are NOT accepted:

• Underwear
• Swimwear
• Company workwear
• Fur
• Shoes in bad condition
• Clothes must be clean and washed
• Torn, stained or worn out clothing will not be accepted

The museum will categorise the clothing handed in one of the following categories: Yellow: <> worth 1 token Red: <> worth 2 tokens Blue: <> worth 3 tokens

Example of token system: you bring in 2 yellow items (=worth 2 tokens), 2 red items (=worth 4 tokens) and 1 blue item (=worth 3 tokens). This gives you a total of 9 tokens available for ‘buying’ your new items! You could spend this on 9 yellow items, or 3 blue items for example.
