    Clothing Swap

    Clothing Swap

    Sometimes, it doesnโ€™t take much to turn something old into something new. Sometimes, all it takes is giving products a second chance with someone else. Clothing items, in particular, are popular for this.

    Thatโ€™s why the Sustainability Dossier organizes a free clothing swap twice a year at Toni-Areal, helping us slow down fast fashion together. Over 180kg of clothing and accessories have been circulated through past events, allowing these items to (re)discover their purpose.

    SHARE: Clothing Swap

    Opening Hours:
    Toni-Areal, Gallery 1 (4.K13)
    Tuesday, April 8, 10 AM โ€“ 5 PM
    Wednesday, April 9, 10 AM โ€“ 5 PM

    Clothing Drop-Off:
    Toni-Areal, Gallery 1 (4.K13)
    Monday, April 7, 1 PM โ€“ 4 PM
    Tuesday, April 8, 10 AM โ€“ 5 PM

    How It Works:

    • Bring up to 10 clean, well-preserved clothing items and/or take up to 10 items for free.
    • Want to see if something fits? Simple wardrobes and mirrors will be available on-site.
    • The clothing swap is open to everyone โ€“ non-ZHdK members are also welcome!
    • You can also bring or take accessories such as jewelry, sunglasses, bags, and more.
    • On Wednesday, April 9, no more clothing will be accepted, but you are still welcome to drop by and pick up some pieces.

    REPAIR & CARE: Knitting Cafรฉ, Repair Station, and Textile SPA

    This year, the exchange goes beyond material goods: In collaboration with the Zurich Knowledge Center for Sustainable Development (ZKSD) and as part of Zurich Sustainability Week, you can customize and adjust your finds at the Knitting Cafรฉ & Repair Station.

    For those who want to become more mindful beyond knitting, crocheting, and repairing, the Textile SPA offers inspiration to rethink clothing-related routines. Today, "Ready to wear" is not enough. Sustainable fashion needs more components and shifts to "ready to share, care, repair."

    For questions or feedback, the re-source team is happy to help.

    Here are some impressions from the Clothing Swap in October 2024.
