This Wednesday (Jan 29th) sees a clothes swapping frenzy descend on Roll For The Soul, giving you a chance to update your wardrobe by donating your old, unworn, forgotten clothing and then maybe getting your hands on some new (to you) gems!
The event is all in aid of Labour Behind The Label Trust which does lots of hard work to "support garment workers' efforts worldwide to improve their working conditions", and any money raised at this event will go straight to them!
The suggested donation for entry is £2 - £6, and don't worry if you don't have any clothes to bring along yourself - it's open to everyone!
If you would like to get involved by handing over some of your 'pre-loved' clothes, then all you need to do is drop them off (cleaned, ironed & folded) to the Labour Behind The Label's office at 10-12 Picton Street, Bristol, BS6 5QA before the event (but make sure you drop them a bell first to arrange - 0117 944 1700), or if you'd prefer you can hand them in on the day at Roll for the Soul cafe between 9am - 6pm.
The event itself will be running from 6.30pm - 8.30pm and there'll even be scrumptious treats for you to nosh on available to buy from the cafe - nom!
So it's the perfect opportunity to for you clear some space at home and to let someone else start enjoying all the clothes you've grown out of! Plus who can resist the chance to snag a few 'new' pieces for the wardrobe! Hey, the seasons are changing - perfect timing to update your look, plus it's all for a good cause so there's no excuse not to come along!
Hope to see you there!

As a quick update to this I can tell you that the amount of clothes on offer was great - what a good selection! I myself walked away with a black Topshop blazer with a bit of peplum action going on, and a lovely orange silk skirt - it might be a bit big, but if so I am going to fashion that dreamy material into something new and exciting - first project on the new sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteThe team running the event were so friendly and had so much great information on Labour Behind The Label - I would definitely recommend looking into their events in the future! :D
