Guidelines for Accepting Women’s Clothing and Accessories

1.     CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE PROUD OF: You may contribute up to TEN pre-owned or ‘new with tag’ (you know you have them) items. All sizes are encouraged. Clothes are preferred on a hangar (wire is acceptable) and in wearable condition; meaning clean, with no rips, stains or holes. Accessories (bags, purses, sunglasses, scarves, belts) are to be usable with no broken clasps or zippers. Damaged clothing or accessories will not be accepted. Intake location and times will be posted to She Shops Swap Instagram @sheshopsswap. Contributions are only accepted ahead of Swap Day. Details on where to drop off will be posted here and on the She She Shops Swap Instagram @sheshopsswap and Facebook pages.

2.     ONE FOR ONE: You will receive one ticket for each item you contribute to the swap.  Do not loose your tickets - they are your currency on swap night!  It’s a good idea to take a photo of your tickets when you receive them.    

3.     FOLLOW ALONG ON INSTAGRAM: @sheshopsswap will regularly update items as they come in so you have an idea what will be available on the Swap Event Day! Following, sharing and ‘liking” posts is your opportunity to share your appreciation of pre-loved pieces.  

4.    SWAP EVENT DAY: You should arrive early for the best choice. There will be no holds.  Each item will ‘cost’ one ticket. Remember you are ‘swapping’ amongst friends in our community, so please be courteous when browsing and don’t hold onto items for consideration too long. Change rooms will not be available so dress appropriately to pop a piece over what you’re wearing to try on. Some venues may have washrooms available to trying items on.  Don’t forget to BYOB – Bring Your Own Bag.   Doors to the event location will open at 7 p.m. to shop vendors. The swap will begin at 7:30 with the sound of a bell!

5.    SPREAD THE PRE-OWNED LOVE: Clothing and accessories that remain at the end of the Swap Event will be donated to New Circles GLOW (Gently Loved Outfits to Wear) program and other organizations for women in need to keep them out of landfill and cycle them directly back into communities in need.   Don’t forget to tag @sheshopsswap on Instagram when sharing your swap finds.

  THE FINE PRINT:

1. The purchase of a ticket to She Shops Swap acknowledges that photos will be taken at the event and the purchaser gives permission to She Shops Swap/Vicki Hall to use the images for marketing purposes.

2. Any items donated to She Shops Swap become property of She Shops Swap/Vicki Hall and will be donated to a charity or charities that support women and teenage girls post swap.

3. In support of our mutual commitment to community and in the spirit of swapping, items from She Shops Swap are intended to be selected by you for your own use and enjoyment.

4. Once purchased, tickets to She Shops Swap are non-refundable.
