The Yellow Studio Nature & Sustainability Club will co-host a women’s clothing swap on Thursday, October 24 with local mom and sustainability advocate Kayla Kaplowitz, founder of Our Swap Shoppe. Celebrate the International Day of Climate Action by swapping your pre-loved clothes and accessories for something “new.”

The average American buys 64 items of clothing and 7 pairs of shoes per year — 5x more than in 1980. Swapping your clothes helps to reduce textile waste, encourages you to downsize your wardrobe responsibly, and ensures your pre-loved items will find a good home.

Participants are asked to bring up to 10 pre-loved but good-condition Fall clothing and/or accessories and a tote bag. Dresses and blouses should be on hangers. This is not a 1:1 swap; it’s first-come first-served! Unwanted items will be donated to Dress for Success and The Community Center of Northern Westchester.

Light bites and wine will be served, and there will be plenty of clothing racks and tables to display each item.

Due to space constraints, this event is limited to 40 women.
