Clothing Swap Guidelines
- Each attendee must bring a minimum of 5 gently, or never worn, consignment quality items. Designer brands preferred, but not required. You will be given a token for every item you bring, redeemable for any other item (i.e. If you bring 5 items, you will be given tokens to bring home 5 "new" items). The more you bring, the more you will be able to bring home.

- All items must be checked in by 7:30pm to ensure appropriate time to organize the main shopping area. Food and drinks will be available while you wait.

- Clothing, shoes, jewlery and accessories are eligible to swap. All items must be in ready-to-wear shape: drycleaned, ironed, no missing buttons, stains or tears, etc...

- The swap will be multi-seasonal; feel free to bring summer and winter attire.

- No sweatpants, lingere or workout gear will be accepted.

- All items left at the conclusion of the swap will be donated to a local charity.
