Swap + Shop Clothing Party - January 23, 2015

2015 New Years Swap + Shop Party

Other Peoples Property puts on Swap & Shop clothing parties a few times throughout the year. Folks bring their clean, used clothes, place them in piles, then go through other folks' piles and everyone walks away with something new and fun. There are also vintage pieces for sale. A portion of the profits go to various charities, and the clothing that is left over is donated to a woman's clothing charity.

We've been covering these parties for a loooong time:

The next one is Friday January 23

What/Why:
The New Year is here and you know you want to get rid of some stuff from last year and add some New / Fresh things to your Wardrobe. We are SO glad to be partnering w Eco Rollins again! And West Elm was so generous to sponsor us w some items that will make the event extra beautiful! Photo by: codyjordan.com

Purpose
According to the U.S. EPA Office of Solid Waste, Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of clothing and textiles per person per year. We are trying to help reduce that number by having you keep your clothes in circulation and out of landfills.

First part is a Clothing Swap! Bring all your clothing, shoes, jewelry, books, etc that have been your closet forever that you just don't wear anymore, have grown out of, or was just never right for you to begin with and we will swap! Bring your old stuff. Bring home some new stuff. GENTLEMEN: PLEASE participate.

KIDS clothing! Moms get your kids clothes that they have out grown together and bring home some new stuff they can fit into!

Shopping
Second part of the Evening is shopping (separate from the Swap) Other Peoples Property's Vintage Collection. Get yourself loaded with the Best in Vintage. We will have an extensive collection of vintage clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags and much more. This is your chance to get some fantastic and one of a kind vintage pieces!

***Please note that a percentage of everything sold from OPP will be given to charitywater.org. Because over One Billion people don't have clean fresh drinking water. We think that's important and we hope you do too & Mission of Hope in Haiti. www.mohhaiti.org***

The left over clothes will be donated to Dress For Success. A non-profit that helps women get interview appropriate clothing and tips. Please check them out: dressforsuccess.org. The BETA Center for teenage moms betacenter.org and local Homeless Ministries.

The more the merrier so please invite all of your stylish friends!
