SUMMARY:Fall Clothing Swap
DESCRIPTION:\nRevamp your fall wardrobe sustainably for as little as $10 at the Fall Clothing Swap!\n\n\n\nJoin Chicago Fair Trade’s Conscious Closet Club for a weekend-long clothing swap at the Chicago Fair Trade Museum. Taking place during Chicago Fashion Week, we welcome swappers of all ages, sizes, and genders to this ever-popular event.\n\n\n\nWe have two ticket options: get first dibs at our Exclusive Preview Night ($39) or thrift for less with our General Admission ticket ($10). Space is limited, so tickets will be good for a 3-hour time slot.\n\n\n\nWhat is a Clothing Swap? Have you ever had a piece of clothing lingering in the back of your closets that is perfectly good – but you don’t ever wear? So do most of us… in fact, there’s already enough clothing on the planet to clothe the next six generations.\n\n\n\nAt a Clothing Swap, participants bring along their gently-used clothing and accessories, then swap them with items brought by others. It’s the perfect way to save clothing waste from going to landfill and upgrade your closet with new-to-you treasures you will actually wear!\n\n\n\nEXCLUSIVE PREVIEW NIGHT: Friday, October 10 from 6-9 PM\n\n\n\nGet first dibs! Opening-night tickets are $39 ($29 for CFT members) and include:\n\n\n\n\nTake home up to 10 swap items; get first dibs!\n\n\n\nFree readmission to one slot on Saturday or Sunday\n\n\n\nAdult beverages and appetizers\n\n\n\nGet styling tips and shopping help from our professional thrift stylists\n\n\n\nWin fabulous fair trade prizes from our spinning wheel\n\n\n\nMingle with your fellow conscious consumers!\n\n\n\n\nGENERAL ADMISSION: Saturday, October 11 from 10AM -7PM & Sunday, October 12 from 11AM -5PM\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: More and more clothing is donated throughout the weekend, so don’t worry if you can’t make an earlier slot-we have new to you items coming in all the time.\n\n\n\nAdmission these days is $10 (free for CFT members). Your ticket includes:\n\n\n\n\nTake home up to 10 swap items\n\n\n\nPlease bring your own bag to carry away your clothes!\n\n\n\n\nClothing Donations: You can bring donations with you to the event, or drop them off in advance at the Chicago Fair Trade Museum (4704 N Broadway Street, Chicago).
