Shwopping here I come!

Home » Blog » Sarah Heeringa » Shwopping here I come!

I’m looking forward to tomorow's chance at off-loading a couple of my fashion mistakes and finding some flash new threads tomorrow at the Big Shwop.

Even better, it’s all happening at swanky hotel The Langham.

What better way to mark the end of Fashion Week, than by swapping dud clothes (well the one's that don't look so hot on me) for something that suits me better? 

The idea behind the Big Shwop is simple—you bring along your unwanted, barely worn quality clothes and exchange them for vouchers. When the shwop begins, you can 'cash in' your vouchers for any of the other lovely threads on offer. Spot prizes from Trilogy and Ecostore, Momo organic wine and a live DJ will just add to the guilt-free shopping experience!

  • The clothes need to be fashionable and in excellent condition.
  • You need to drop your clothes off between 11- 1pm.
  • For each item of clothing suitable for the shwop you’ll receive a voucher.
  • One accepted item is worth one voucher.
  • The shwopping starts at 2pm.

For more information, go to to The Big Shwop
