After the success of the inaugural event, Swap in the City returns to the Radisson Hotel on Thursday October 8. It is the guilt free, ethical and stylish way to update your wardrobe on a budget. Tickets for the stylish fashion affair are €10, and after that your clothes become your currency. In addition to the swap element, Irishboutiques.com will be there with a host of top boutiques selling fabulous designer labels for a fraction of high street prices. Also, i102-104's Barbara NicDhonnacha will be broadcasting her Ar Eileamh Chart Show live from the event.
Barry McCann, organiser of the event, commented on how the swap process works; “This is a unique opportunity for women to create their very own fashion currency by swapping their unworn or unwanted pieces from their wardrobes. Swapping couldn't be easier, but to avoid any confusion, we have put together a very simple 3-step process.”
Step one is to purchase a ticket for Swap in the City online at www.galwaysimon.ie or by calling 091 589415. Step two is to exchange your unworn or unwanted clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery or accessories for swap tokens. This can be done at the Radisson Hotel on Wednesday October 7 between 8am and 7pm or on Thursday October 8 between 12 noon and 3pm. Those who deposit items on Wednesday will receive an extra free token.
Step three, these tokens can then be used to purchase any other item in the swap department on the night of the event. Your tokens will get you clothes, shoes, bags or accessories, any item that catches your eye.
All clothing must be clean, freshly pressed and in pristine condition. Items should be on hangers where possible.Should any items not meet these quality requirements, they may not be accepted on the night.
Doors open 7.30pm. For further information call Barry on 091 589415. All proceeds to Galway Simon Community.
