Mer info:
Welcome to Bergen’s biggest clothing swap event! We believe sustainable fashion is for everyone, including those who wear plus size clothing (XL and up) or what is typically considered/sold as “men’s wear”. However, on the second-hand market as well as our previous events, we have noticed that these items can be harder to find. This is why also this year, we are organizing an event completely dedicated to swapping MASCULINE and PLUS SIZE CLOTHING ONLY! This means we will not be taking in/putting out women’s clothes below size XL at this event. Like always, we will be serving coffee, tea and vegan/gluten free pastries in the cafe area. There will also be a repair cafe where you can drop in to find help and materials to repair, upcycle or alter any clothes you brought from home or found at the event.

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.
