A preloved clothing event is bringing circular fashion to a wider audience and promoting community connections.
Swap Society, a Wiltshire-based clothing swap community, is hosting its next event at The Pink Cafe in Calne on Sunday, June 7, as part of its mission to make sustainable fashion accessible and social.
Co-founders Meagan Powell and Gracie May White said: "Our swaps are designed to make circular fashion feel accessible, exciting and community led.
"They are not simply about exchanging clothes, but about encouraging people to rethink fashion consumption, keep garments in circulation and connect with others in a positive and welcoming environment.
"This event also introduces a new ticketed format for the first time due to venue capacity, which has naturally been a learning curve for us.
"We truly believe initiatives like this have an important place within Wiltshire communities, not only from a sustainability perspective, but also in creating social, positive experiences that support local businesses and bring people together."
Swap Society has expanded across the county over the past year, hosting events that promote sustainability, social connection and the support of independent venues.
The event in Calne marks the group’s first visit to the town and introduces a ticketed format to manage venue capacity.
The founders describe The Pink Cafe as a "natural fit" for the event, noting its alignment with their values of female-led enterprise, community spirit and sustainability.
They also highlight the importance of supporting grassroots projects that bring people together while helping the environment.
