The free Ealing Broadway Clothes Swap pop-up is back on Saturday 17th February, to drop off your clothes and pick up some tokens, then return on Sunday 18th February to swap the tokens for clothes.
Join in the clothes swap
Bring your preloved clothes to Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre on Saturday 17th February. The clothes will be assessed to check that there is no damage and stains. Those suitable for the swap will be taken and 1 token will be given for each item. (Up to 5 tokens will be given) and exchange your clothes you no longer want for tokens at the Clothes Swap pop up shop (next to Flying Tiger Copenhagen).
Return the next day, Sunday 18th February, with your swap tokens, to revitalise your wardrobe with some delightful gems.

Achieved so far
The last two pop-ups last four pop-ups saved an incredible 3,821 items from landfill while 2,855 pieces were swapped. Ealing Broadway has been partnering with the charity Love Not Landfill since 2018 – and residents have donated over 20 tonnes of clothing to their local clothes banks in that time.
Valuing and wearing our clothes is so important. Textiles account for nearly a QUARTER of global mixed waste and research shows the fashion industry is the SECOND largest polluter after aviation. So the longer we wear and repair our clothes the better.
