Join us at Decentered Studio - a new community arts space in SOMA.
This swap is in partnership with Roboro and American Cancer Society Discovery Shop.
Q: How does a clothing swap work?
A: Bring clothing you want to pass on or just bring yourself (it's not required to bring things). Peruse other items people have brought and take as much as you'd like.
Q: Do I need to bring clothes?
A: No there are usually more than enough.
Q: Is it a 1-1 Swap?
A: Nope, Help Yourself.
Q: What type of clothes will be there?
A: We'd like to have options for all bodies and gender expressions, a good chunk will be femme clothes.
Q: Can I bring items beyond clothing?
A: Accessories, household items, makeup, skincare and anything else you want to gift skew towards nice items. If you bring non-clothing stuff - help us out by taking it back if it doesn't get claimed. We've spent hours of our time rehomeing a bunch of random items post swap - no more!
