As well as Trinity Rooms, we're teaming up with the Door, Creative Sustainability, and Transition Stroud (TS) Textile Group for this day-to-night event for Sustainable Fashion Week.
Clothes Swap: beforehand
Bring your clean, good quality, unwanted clothing, shoes and accessories to Stroud Valleys Project eco shop between Friday 19 and Friday 26 September. You’ll get a token to swap on the day. If you would struggle to get to the shop, we can arrange collection in our local area; drop an email to kerri@stroudvalleysproject.org.
We will be whisking away the best clothes for our evening event, where the focus is on fashion and fundraising.
