Pre-loved Finds in the Frisian Countryside
On Sunday 15 November, The Swap Club brings its clothing swap to Friesland for the very first time. The setting is Dove Tail Cottage in Bontebok, just outside Heerenveen. Participants can refresh their wardrobe, discover second-hand pieces and meet fellow fashion lovers in a relaxed atmosphere.
Everyone is welcome, although this first edition will mainly feature women’s clothing. There are two sessions, each with up to 15 participants. Participants bring up to 15 items they no longer wear, which are checked and registered during the first half hour. Each item is assessed on quality, brand and condition, and the points go to a digital wallet via a personal QR code. Those points are spent on new favourites, and any leftover points stay valid at future The Swap Club events.
Accepted: clean clothing and accessories in good condition, almost-new shoes, unused jewellery and unopened cosmetics. Not accepted: damaged, stained, faded, pilling or worn-out items, used shoes, underwear without tags and worn swimwear.
