Mrs Bear’s Clothes Swap Shop + Vintage

    With everyone feeling the pinch in the current climate, Mrs Bear’s clothes swapshop is themed on a World War II "make do and mend” ethos. The simple idea being you can exchange your unwanted clothing, shoes or accessories with someone else’s. Swap your way to a new wardrobe at little cost to you and the environment! It’s also aimed at re-gaining a sense of real community whilst reducing your carbon footprint.

    The clothes swapping events are held at various locations in London with a regular once a month slot at The Britannia, (thebritanniapub.co.uk).

    Always check our events page for up-to-date information.

    Step 1) Go through your wardrobe and dig out good condition ladieswear, shoes, hats, bags, belts and scarves. (We do not take jewellery, lingerie, swimwear or glasses)

    Step 2) Bring along up to 7 swaps to a Mrs Bear’s event where they will be colour-graded for fair swaps:

    RED = High St. Labels ( H&M, Topshop, Zara etc.)

    BLUE = Higher-end High St (Whistles, Reiss etc.), High-end vintage, High-end designer (Max Mara, Chloe etc.)

    You will receive your own clothing ration book with your colour-stamped coupons for swapping

    Step 3) If you don’t manage to use up all your coupons you can keep your ration book for next time or even take home your unwanted swaps (provided they haven’t been snapped up already) - you choose!

    Please check your swaps before you bring them along and remember if they are too well worn/washed for you to wear, they will be for somebody else!
