Toronto event: UberSWAP clothing swap
Shameless is excited to be attending this event - look for Julia and Sarah at the Shameless table and come say hi, buy a magazine and check out some merch!
PLEASE NOTE: The venue has a few stairs leading to the entrance and is not wheelchair-accessible.
Join 100+ stylish scavengers in Leslieville for the next edition of Uber-SWAP, our used & vintage clothing exchange! (Facebook event page here.)
Expect a thriftshop-style swap boasting a tempting stash of gently used, vintage & even some new clothing, accessories & footwear.
Bring a bag, take a bag! NOTE: The main focus is on women’s fashions, but men’s items are also very welcome (no kid’s clothing or toys, please).
Save-the-date & please help spread the word re: this eco-fab & frugal event!
