JOIN TWYG THIS SATURDAY, 23 March 2024, FOR AN EXTRA SPECIAL SWAP & MEND!
Twyg have partnered with the incredible teams at Nude Foods, Patch and Stitch SA, Afri digital plus to bring you a brand new venue thanks to Field Station in an attempt to make Swap&Mend an even bigger and better circular fashion experience in 2024.
Keeping your clothes in circulation and taking care of them is an act of love for the people who made your clothes and for the planet. By swapping and mending your clothes you’re helping to reimagine the values at the heart of a new fashion.
HOW SWAP & MEND WORKS:
• Bring a maximum of 10 clean, unbroken, good condition clothes.
• They won’t accept clothes that smell, have holes, are pilled or dirty.
• You can swap for the same number of clothes as the good quality clothes that you bring.
• Bring your mending kit and join a community of sustainable fashion lovers.
Upcycle a hoodie
As well as stopping your garments for an ipdated wardrobe you can also bring an old hoodie to upcycle with expert mender Collen Shoko from Patch and Stitch SA.
And enjoy a short talk from Erica de Greef from African Fashion Research Institute who will give a short talk about Afrocentric upcycling.
