July Community Swap & Stories

€0.00

Community Swap & Stories

A free community event supported by the Guinness Dublin 8 Community Fund

ID8 Studio, The Digital Depot, Roe Lane, Dublin 8
Wednesday 22 July | 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Free event – registration required

Join us for an evening of swapping, storytelling and community connection centred around fashion, textile waste and practical climate action.

Clothes Stories | 6:00pm – 6:30pm

Before the event, bring along one item of clothing that holds a special memory or meaning. On arrival, you'll receive a story tag to write a few words about your garment and attach it to the item.

We'll then gather together for a quick round of introductions, with anyone who wishes invited to share the story behind their clothing. Stories might be funny, sentimental, practical or unexpected – a favourite jumper that's lasted 20 years, a jacket found in a charity shop, a dress handed down through generations or a garment that's been repaired time and again.

It's a simple way to celebrate the memories, creativity and connections our clothes hold before we move into the community clothing swap.

Community Clothing Swap | 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Browse a large, shop-style clothing swap and refresh your wardrobe without buying new. Bring along clean, good-quality pre-loved clothes to exchange for new-to-you pieces in a welcoming, accessible and social environment.

Expect great clothes, great conversations and plenty of community spirit.
