Repair Cafe: Clothes Swap Rail

Public Events Member Events

Are you in search of a new outfit that doesn't cost the world? We will have a handy clothes swap rail for you to browse through during our Repair Cafe event! Bring in your old clothes for donation on the rail and in return, you can take home an item to refresh your wardrobe and tackle fast fashion.

To take part in the swap, please bring in:

1. Items of clothing, including shoes, bags and assessories
2. Make sure that your items are in good working condition (no stains or broken items)

Besides the above activity, we are hosting a range of drop-in repair activities for the UCL community. You can also drop into:

Plant care & repair
Maintainsplaining (fixing your home)
Textiles & Clothing repair
If it's broke, don't fix it! (treating a broken item through arts and heritage repair methods)
Office furniture repair (advance booking required)

Do you have specific access requirements?

We would like to make sure that everyone can join our events and use our website as easily as possible. Please message us if you need any particular support or assistance while attending our space or using our platforms, so we can ensure those. We are also always interested in feedback to help us improve access to our activities. Contact Sara on events@instituteofmaking.org.uk.
