Look no further, because we have the perfect solution for you! Introducing the Kumeu Clothing Swap & Shop event, where you can refresh your wardrobe, save money, and contribute to a greener planet.
They are a community women’s clothing swap and sale, run by passionate locals and a dedicated team of volunteers. Their mission is to promote community and sustainability, as well as make good quality clothing accessible to everyone. All profits raised go to Parent Aid North West, a charity who do the most incredible work supporting local families with young children when they need it most.
So, what exactly is a clothing swap? It’s a fun and eco-friendly gathering where women come together to exchange their gently used garments, accessories, and shoes.
