Almost a third (26%) of the average Briton’s garments have not been worn in the last year. Why not have a spring clean and bring those clothes lurking at the back of your wardrobe the Swish and Style event taking place at Lauderdale House in February 2020?
Bring up to fifteen items; for each item you bring, you will be given a token that you can exchange for another garment from someone else.
The events will include workshops where you can learn skills to take home and use on your clothes again. At this event, you can learn the Japanese techniques such of boro as well as getting advice on mending and upcycling. Everything is free!
