T.O. the Good Swap: 2SLGBTQ+ Edition

T.O. the Good Swap is a monthly clothing exchange for all genders, all bodies, and all ages. Love clothes and the planet? Then you'll love this event...

__________________________________________________________________________

T.O. the Good Swap is partnering with The 519 to throw a special 2SLGBTQ+ swap.

Pride Month is around the corner, so stop by The 519 and find your sustainable parade 'fit! Or just swap for some new-to-you clothes for your closet.

The 519 is an inclusive space and we're happy to share this invitation with queer and trans folks.

HOW THIS EVENT WORKS

1. Drop

Stop at the welcome area with up to 10 items of preloved clothing, footwear, jewelry, and accessories in good condition (laundered and folded, no rips, stains, used undies or socks).

2. Swap

Find some thing(s) you love and try it/them on.

3. Keep

Take what you want home with you. We ask that you to limit the amount you take home to a similar amount to what you brought. Remember: it's not about how much you get, it's about how much you'll wear it!

4. Share

Tag @t.o.thegoodswap to share your finds with the world. Sign up for our mailing list to find out when the next swap is!

OUR MISSION

Eliminate textile waste in Toronto and champion ethical and sustainable fashion practices globally by encouraging participation in the conscious fashion movement through swap events, advocacy, and education.

Our mission differs from service organizations such as clothing banks which provide access to free or low-cost clothing for those in need of it. This list of clothing banks in Toronto may be useful if you are looking for these services.

WHY SWAP?

By swapping instead of shopping (or dumping your clothes at a thrift store), you’re participating in the circular economy, keeping clothing out of landfills, saving money, updating your wardrobe, avoiding unethical fast fashion and resource depletion, and sharing with a community of likeminded people… and sharing feels good.

All the sweet haul dopamine, none of the ethical dilemma!
