On Sunday the 3rd of November Waverley Council and The Clothing Exchange join eco-forces and are holding a clothes swap to celebrate the opening of The Boot Factory in Bondi Junction.
How it works
Bring up to SIX items of clothing you value but no longer wear and exchange for those you’ll love to wear! When you check your clothes in you will receive buttons to use as currency
once the swap opens. You can then take one item for each button you receive.
Please note, our organisers will need the room for 1 hour to sort the clothes. Take advantage of this time to explore the local area, socialise with fellow fashion enthusiasts, or grab a coffee.

What you can bring:
Bring up to SIX items of clothing in excellent condition for any size, gender and age. Excellent condition means the clothing is clean, pressed and free from rips, holes, stains or
major faults. Only bring items you would proudly give to a friend. Items could include:
Tops, shirts, blouses and jackets
Pants, jeans and shorts
Skirts, dresses and suits
Belts, bags and shoes
Scarves, ties and hats
Note: We do not accept anything pilled, pongy, marked or too far from perfect. We do not exchange undergarments, swimwear, tracksuits or cheap fast fashion.
All styles are accepted, provided they're in excellent condition – so keep in mind that items will range from on-trend pieces to older classics. And although we love receiving them,
we can't guarantee everyone who brings a designer item will take home an equivalent piece.
What you can't bring:
Items are checked before being put out for the clothes swap. If your items are unsuitable, you may be asked to take them home. Unsuitable items include:
Jewellery and wigs
Underwear, socks and swimwear
Sportswear and activewear
Anything stained, torn or unclean
Noticeably worn out, shabby, pilling or frayed items
Street parking at the venue is limited so we encourage carpooling and public transport. Bondi Junction train station is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk away. Parking options
are available in surrounding streets and the Waverley Library.
