Out with the old and in with the new? One’s trash is another’s treasure? However you see it, you can shop for new looks and accessories without spending a cent at the Fashion Exchange Swap Shop on Saturday 15 June 2019.

WHAT IS A SWAP SHOP
It’s simple really: bring your pre-loved clothing, jewellery, accessories, shoes and bags and trade them for the items that are available on the rails and tables at the swap event. The items that don’t get swapped? Owner of The Champagne Life Events, Laverne Turner-Manuel, often donates them to various women's organisations in Cape Town if traders are willing to donate their goods.

WHERE IS IT
This long-weekend swap will be taking place at the Grind 4 Truth coffee shop in Green Point. The coffee spot has been around for ages, making great coffee and offering a chilled ambience to enjoy the city centre.
TICKETS TO THE FASHION EXCHANGE SWAP SHOP
It’s free to partake in the swap. You do need to RSVP though, which you can do by emailing thechampagnelifeevents@gmail.com or sending a message to their Facebook page.
