Spring Renewal: A Clothing Swap Party!

Spring is a time for celebrating new life, so let's renew our closets and have a good time doing it!

Every year New Yorkers throw away enough clothing to fill up the Brooklyn Bridge TWICE. Don't add to that horrific pile! Instead, join us for a party where we'll help you revive those back-of-the-closet duds or pass them on to a new owner. Turn funky jeans into the perfect summer cutoffs, mend rips with patches and pins, cover up stains with dyes, or simply give those ill-fitting garments a new life in someone else's closet. While you mend and mingle, peruse racks full of your fellow stylish New Yorker's unwanted goodies and take home as many new-to-you pieces as you can find!

We will have sparkling organic wine mixed with Owl's Brew organic tea mixers, locally brewed in Vermont and served in compostable cups! Come out and join us on May 20th for an evening of swapping, DIY mending, and great company - because saving your clothing from the landfill should be fun.

The rules:
Please bring *no more than 10* items that are appropriate for spring and summer. Shoes, bags, jewelry, mens and womens clothing are all welcome.
