2020 is a perfect time to double down on your commitment to a low-waste lifestyle. Join Cambridge Naturals and Make & Mend for a fun and festive clothing swap at the Canopy Room in Bow Market!
Needing a new wardrobe? Tired of your usual duds? Trade them in for someone else's!
This event is open to all body types, sizes and genders. Participants are encouraged to bring up to 5-10 of their loveliest pieces of gently-worn or like-new, clean, clothing to trade.
Local embroidery instructor Emily Tirella will be offering 1-on-1 visible mending advice and will have mending kits for sale for you to repair your own clothing at home. Feel free to bring garments you want to keep or reinforce to ensure your clothing lasts as long as you want it to!
Cambridge Naturals will be tabling with many fabulous + functional low-waste goods to support your 2020 environmental goals!
The Canopy Room will have a cash bar so you can grab a beverage while you peruse, and Olivia of @livwithlesswaste will give a talk on low waste lifestyles and ethical fashion.
This event is for those looking to refresh their own wardrobes in a sustainable way. NO re-sellers please.
The Canopy Room is an event space expertly decorated with vintage and secondhand goods. This space is available to rent for everything from bachelorette parties to dog birthday bashes. Located in the heart of Union Square, Bow Market is a community marketplace. Previously used as a storage facility, this space is home to over 30 small local businesses. Parking can be tricky around here. There’s lots of meter parking in the area but it tends to fill up rather quickly in the evenings so plan to take public transit or bike if you can.
The Canopy Room is on the second floor of the Bow Market. Once you enter the market, head up the first set of stairs and proceed straight ahead to the Canopy Room. Elevators are located on the right side of the building and bathrooms are over there as well. The market bathrooms are gender segregated but gender neutral bathrooms are located in the Remnant Brewery.
