The Exchange Co

16/10/2024

I honestly can't believe I'm posting this 🤩
and I are in awe of how quickly this event has sold out 🙀. Never before have we hit our capped numbers which we need to do, to ensure we have the best event possible for everyone who comes.
But it also means those who wanted to attend need to jump on the wait-list!
It also means you all have an appetite for more!! 💓

Everyone is welcome to still shop at Solaris on the day and support their shop.

Thanks for the shout out Western Metropolitan Regional Council .
These are some great suggestions for alternative fast fashion!!

Avoiding ultra-fast fashion doesn't have to be boring! There are so many other affordable (or even free) ways to experience the fun of a new-to-you outfit, without the environmental impact. Here are just a few suggestions...

👗 Op shop: Perth is home to so many excellent op shops - perfect for snagging a preloved bargain! We love Solaris Cancer Care Op Shop in Cottesloe and Vinnies and Save the Children in Mosman Park. It can also be fun to venture further afield and try an op shop in an area you're not so familiar with.

👗 Shop vintage: You're bound to find something amazing and completely unique at your local vintage store or market! Why not get some friends together and make a day of it?

👗 Shop preloved online: If you're short on time and don't feel like browsing an op-shop, Depop and Facebook Marketplace are great options for secondhand shopping. The both have useful search functions to help you find exactly what you're looking for.

👗 Come to a clothing swap: Our next (free!) clothing swap for adults is on 10 August (tickets available here: https://events.humanitix.com/clothing-swap-with-carey-wright). The Exchange Co also hosts regular, high-end swaps.

👗 Work with what you have: Spend some time with your wardrobe and try out different combinations - you might come up with some great new looks without buying anything at all! Or have a search on Youtube and Pinterest for ways you can dye, embroider, re-fashion or embellish items you already own for a whole new look.

Some of you have asked about the accepted brands list for our events.
To keep them high quality here is an indicator of what to expect!

Feel free to send us a DM if you need to ask about certain brands. We just can't list everything!

See you soon 💕❤️

I don't know what I would do without these two amazing women in my life.
My Mum and my sister. I have learnt so much from them both about how to be the Mum I am today.

Happy mother's Day to every person out there who provides care and motherly love to those around them.

Here is your reminder that your wardrobe has everything you need already 🎉
If it's not working for you then exchange it with friends or bring to an exchange event for something you will wear ♻️

Black Friday sales is not the time to flippantly shop just because it's on sale...
Think consciously about your purchases first ☝️
