Mer info:
Welcome to Bergen’s biggest clothing swap event! Come and get your summer outfit at the last swap before the summer holiday. We will put out bright and breezy items for you to enjoy the sun in. The swap café is opened with coffee and homemade cakes and don't forget to drop by the repair café where we'll help you repair your clothes.

How does it work?
Dive into your closet and collect clothes you want to swap. For this special event, all items you bring must fit the description of ‘masculine’, ‘plus size’ (XL/44 or up), or both. Unlike usual at our events, you can hand in as many items in these categories as you want. You are also welcome to bring purses/bags, shoes and jewelry. At the swap, you receive points for each item, depending on its type and quality. Take your time to look through our well-stocked racks for items you like, and pay for them with the points you received. The clothes you brought will be made available for newly arriving swappers and you’ll get to leave with a newly swapped outfit! As we have our own stock, there are clothes available right from the start. Note: Bring your old point card to use any points received at previous 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. You can also alter clothes you found at the swap, or work with the rag materials we have collected. The workshop is included in the entrance fee. The amount of repairs you can do depends on how busy it will be.
