Swap or Stitch It Up – Fashion with Purpose

About This Event

Looking for a sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe? Join us at “Swap or Stitch It Up,” a creative fashion pop-up celebrating reuse, empowerment, and environmental awareness.

Bring your pre-loved clothes—t-shirts, dresses, pants, and shoes—and breathe new life into them through swapping or upcycling. The vibrant Vintage Space team will host a swap corner, showcasing how fashion can be fun, circular, and stylish. No item to swap? No problem. Enjoy the vibe and take inspiration!

Meanwhile, young girls from the non-profit WEEDO will be on-site with sewing machines, turning unwearable garments into pencil cases, wallets, and tote bags. Their display includes a “Trash to Fashion” mini-exhibition featuring upcycled designs and photo prints available for purchase, supporting their ongoing training programs.

At the heart of the event is empowerment. WEZA will run an awareness booth on Menstrual Hygiene Day (28 May), spotlighting the SafePad—a reusable, infection-free sanitary solution for girls in Tanzania.

Come for the fashion, stay for the impact. With great music, drinks, and a community of changemakers, this event blends style, purpose, and good vibes. Capacity is limited to 150–180 guests, so arrive early!
