UCD Clothes Swap

  • Quad Room, Old Student Centre UCD Belfield (map)

Looking for some sustainable new clothes ? Perhaps have a few pieces in your wardrobe that are due a better life? Just plain sick of fast fashion companies trying to sell us new s**t we and the planet don't need? Well hello there... 😏

We are moving the party to the Quad Room this time round to bring you a pop up event that's guaranteed to be messy (but in a good way! 😉). If you've been to any of our swaps in the past you'll know this is a chance to get your hands on some new sustainable threads that you won't want to miss...

How it all goes down...

We have an informal "bring-one-take-one" policy on clothes (maximum three items per person) and we also accept donations to the chosen SU charities which this year are the Rape Crisis Network Ireland and Enable Ireland. If you don't have anything to give though fear not friend - we will certainly not turn you away and welcome anyone and everyone to come along to join our circular fashion fam! Preloved or new items of clothing of all styles, genders and size will be accepted (Bellbottoms. Button ups. Bodycons. Bring them on!) 🥳 Think rummaging through your friend's wardrobe for an outfit- except all of UCD is your friend! 🙌

Some general GUIDELINES in terms of what to bring:
- Only garments in wearable and clean condition will be accepted
- Accessories and footwear of high quality can also be submitted
- Underwear/tights/socks will not be accepted at this event
- Don't forget your sense of curiosity & that thrifty mindset!

Fast fashion is destroying our planet, violates human rights all over the world and pollutes our environment through its constant cycle of make, sell, consume. It's time for a new way for fashion. Let's rebel and show those greedy corporations we can look pretty fine whilst doing so ✊🌎
