Clothes Swap Shop, Repair Services & Workshops
Join us for a week-long celebration in partnership with Verte from the 19th – 23rd May at Hypha x Eastern City Studios. This clothes swap invites you to refresh your wardrobe sustainably while discovering new ways to care for, customise, and fall back in love with your clothes.
Alongside the swap, we’re hosting a curated programme of complimentary, hands-on workshops designed to inspire creativity, extend the life of your garments, and redefine your personal style.
CLOTHES SWAP
Bring up to five items of adult clothing and 10 items for children (up to age 12) to exchange with our in-store clothing swap. Please note, no accessories will be accepted for adults.
How it works
Step 1 – Choose your items
Choose wisely, up to five items, of those pieces you love but just don’t wear anymore and bring them along.
Step 2 – Claim your tokens
Depending on the quality of your items, Verte will give you a corresponding number of tokens. It’s a sliding scale depending on brand, quality and condition.
Please see the token system in the FAQs for more details.
Step 3 – Let’s go shopping
Once we open the rails, go shopping!
We rotate stock throughout the swap to keep the rails fresh for the entire event.
Tues 19th – Sat 23rd, 10am – 6pm daily
Address: Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch St, London EC3M 5LY
REPAIR SERVICES
We want to help keep all items in use for longer, so have you got something which needs fixing or something which no longer fits? Bring along any two clothing items which need minor alterations or repairs to discuss with our seamstress. See FAQs for more details.
