Nothing New November Launch Party

Every year in Christchurch we send almost 13,000 tonnes of textile waste to landfill, it makes up a whooping 6.2% of our total waste. The fashion industry is the worlds second largest greenhouse gas emitter. Millions of people work in conditions that equate to modern day slavery to feed our fast fashion addiction.

It's time to make a change. Join our panel of resident experts to see how they and you can be part of a global movement to revolutionise the fashion industry. Follow this up with a Clothing Swap, an in house repair café and a few local up-cyclers sharing their wares.

6.30-10.30pm Wednesday 30th October 
Level 1, Craft Beer and Coffee Bar
1/217 Marine Pde, New Brighton


CLOTHING SWAP
Get into those drawers and get out your best but no longer worn quality fashion items. Shoes, belts, bags and hats welcome in the mix.

*IMPORTANT! items must be in good condition (No rips, tears, no stains, piling etc) Pass your items on clean and well folded so they look great once hung and on display at the swap market.

*You will get tickets of the total number of items you have dropped off. Bring these on the Swap Market night so you can exchange your tickets for the same amount of items.  (One ticket per item to exchange on the night for a swap item).  Drop off prior to the night - 1/217 Marine Parade LEVEL ONE Craft Beer and Coffee Bar. 

* Get ready to relax mingle and shop - it's also Open Mic night, the Bar and Cafe are open until late!
