Fashion Revolution Clothes Swap @ GoodHood Market: Keep It Local

It’s almost the end of the year. We are coming back with an event where you can express yourself through your style, help support Thai brands without new buying and costing the earth!

Come join us for the swapping and bring back the new preloved ones to update your closets to be more of YOU! Welcome to Fashion Revolution Clothes Swap @ GoodHood Market: Keep It Local


The myth of second hand clothes which include old and uncleaned stuff, or it is for low income people, may not be agreeable anymore! We believe that wearing a second hand is one way to extend the life of clothes. Not only reduce the production of fast fashion industry and create more waste, there are also memorable stories behind those clothes from the pre-owners. We are having fun, mixing and matching second hand clothes to create new possibilities for our unique style.

All you have to do is CLEAN OUT your closet, bring in your old clothes, (but still in a good condition) and exchange them with our community. There will also be joy-sparking conversations with fashion conscious minds who will share with you their tips and tricks on secondhand shopping, vintage style, swapping, thrifting, breaking out beauty-standard and intentional living. We are open to all types of clothes because we want to be inclusive of all genders, expressions and sizes!
