Clothing Swap + Repair cafe

Welcome to Bergen’s biggest clothing swap event! In February, there will be both a clothing swap and a repair cafe. Of course you can also hang-out in the cafe-area to enjoy delicious vegan (and gluten-free) cakes, while you’re waiting for more clothes to arrive.

Note: Bergen Kjøtt is renovating its elevator and therefore there will be no accessibility for wheelchairs at this event. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience and hope to welcome everybody at the next occasion.

When: February 5th, 11.00-16.00
Where: Bergen Kjøtt (Skutevikstorget 1)
Tickets: Kr 50-100 (at the door)

How does it work?
Dive into your closet and collect a max. of 10 clothing items, shoes, purses or jewelry. At the swap, you will receive points for each item, depending on its type and quality. Next, take your time to look through our well-stocked racks for some nice items and pay for them with the points you received. The clothes you brought will be made available for newly arriving swappers and you’ll leave with your newly swapped outfit! As we have our own stock, there are clothes available from the very beginning. Note: You can bring any points received at former events.

Repair cafe
Repair your own clothes at the repair cafe. Our experienced volunteers will help you make small repairs, like attaching a button, closing a hole, or replacing a zipper. The workshop is included in the entrance fee. The amount of repairs you can do depends on how busy it will be.
