The Big Shwop

After a very successful event in Auckland The Big Shwop is returning to Wellington and will be bigger and better than ever!

The Big Shwop brings together people and their wardrobes for an afternoon of shopping - shopping that doesn't make a dent on your bank account or your conscience. It's a new way to re-use and recycle your good quality clothes and get new ones at the same time.

The idea is a simple one - 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. Guilt free shopping straight ahead!

Drop your clothes off between 10am-12pm in exchange for vouchers. The Big Shwop Wellington has a limit of 20 pieces of clothing per shwopper. After dropping in your clothes, relax to some great sounds and a complimentary glass of MOMO's 2009 certified organic Sauvignon Blanc. At 1pm the shwopping fun begins! All shwoppers can shwop till they drop - exchanging their vouchers for fabulous quality clothes.

Numbers are limited so pre-register to be sure of a spot. Pre-registrations close on Friday 30th October 2009 at 6pm. Click here to register

15% of all profit is donated to The Fair Trade Foundation. All the un-shwopped clothes at the end of each event are donated to some great causes to share the love even further.
