Get Ready for the Clothes Swapping Event of 2008
Fashionista's across the capital are gearing up for the clothes swapping event of 2008 - Visa Swap!
As the charity partner for the second year running, TRAID is delighted to be involved in such a high profile event to encourage more sustainability in fashion.
This year's face of Visa Swap is Lindsay Lohan, and it will take place on the 19 and 20 July at No. 1 the Piazza, Covent Garden.
Visit the Visa Swap website to find out when and where to drop off your clothes. The Visa Swap Van will also provide a an alternative drop off point in Spitalfields, Portobello and outside our very own TRAID Hammersmith shop.
Over the Visa Swap weekend, the newly re-launched TRAIDremade will be selling gorgeous recycled accessories to set off swapped items to perfection.
All clothes left over from the Visa Swap weekend will be donated to TRAID for resale in its shops where profits raised support projects to fight global poverty.

TRAIDremade Re-launches!
TRAIDremade - the UK's original and best recycled charity fashion label - is re-launching with a new design team and new collection at the TRAID Brighton shop on June 20th.
TRAIDremade's Head of Design Paula Kirkwood said, "TRAIDremade's new collection will feature the best in restyled vintage, summer frocks, hand printed T's, re-styled suit jackets, hand made accessories and much much more. We work exclusively with damaged second-hand textiles that would otherwise end up in landfill and buying TRAIDremade is a great antidote to the monotony of the high street."
