Clothes swapping ‘department store’ to be trialled next month

NEW YORK – A new clothes swapping department store is to be trialled in New York next month, as it looks to shed the negative stigma surrounding pre-owned apparel and encourage more sustainable consumer behaviours.

The concept store, which will run from 22nd – 30th April, will host second-hand fashion brands while affording the opportunity for consumers to cash in on their unwanted items to raise funds for any items they might like.
