Keep clothing in circulation and find something new-to-you!

Join us for a relaxed evening of swapping and wardrobe-refreshing. When you arrive, we’ll collect your clothes and set them up as a mini “shop” for everyone to browse.

While we get everything ready, the Blackbird Records Café will be open with coffee and nibbles available. You’ll also have the chance to browse the record store before the swap kicks off.

When: Friday 6th March, 5:30pm
Where: Blackbird Records, 132 Jellicoe Street, Te Puke 3119, New Zealand
Tickets: Free, but limited, please register to save your spot. Bring some cash in case you'd like to grab extra items.

What to bring:

• A maximum of 5 garments in great condition, no stains or holes, and only things you’d be happy to receive yourself.
• Please avoid items from The Warehouse, Kmart, Anko, Garage, Shein etc., as these pieces are often left behind.
• A few gold coins if you’d like to buy extras after swapping.

How it works:

• Bring your garments and we’ll set them up boutique-style.
• You’ll receive 1 token per garment (up to 5)
• Use your tokens to "shop" for your new-to-you clothing
• If you've used all your tokens, you’re welcome to purchase additional garments for a gold coin donation, all proceeds will go to Turning Point Trust.
