This November, skip Black Friday and join us for a Green Sunday at Bergen's largest Clothing Swap & Repair Café.
We'll be putting out cozy sweaters in warm colors, festive dresses for the holiday season, and a wide selection of good quality second-hand clothes in all sizes and styles, plus shoes and accessories. While swapping you can take a break at the Swap Café, where you can enjoy coffee and homemade cakes.
Make sure to not miss out on the Repair Café. Bring along clothes you've found at the swap (or from home) and get help to repair or adjust them, giving your wardrobe a longer life.
When: September 21st, 12.00-17.00
Where: Bergen Kjøtt (Skutevikstorget 1)
Tickets: Kr 60-120 (buy your ticket online to avoid queuing!)
- How does it work? -
Dive into your closet and collect a max. of 7 clothing items, shoes, bags/purses or jewelry. At the swap, you will receive points for each item, depending on its type and quality. Next, take your time to look through our well-stocked racks for some nice items and pay for them with the points you received. The clothes you brought will be made available for newly arriving swappers and you'll leave with your newly swapped outfit! As we have our own stock, there are clothes available from the very beginning. Note: You can bring any points received at former events.
- Repair cafe -
Repair your own clothes at the repair cafe. Our experienced volunteers will help you make small repairs, like attaching a button, closing a hole, or replacing a zipper. The workshop is included in the entrance fee. The amount of repairs you can do depends on how busy it will be.
