It’s well-known that the Earth suffers from the production and processing of clothing and fast fashion. Unfortunately, we also know all too well that child labor and forced labor are rampant in this sector. What if we could spare our planet and its inhabitants this suffering by consuming differently? And that’s exactly what we can do at the clothing exchange store SWAPS.
New isn’t necessary
From the idea that everything has already been made, owner Yanne started a trading system. And it caught on! What began with pop-ups has grown into what SWAPS is today. Because now, Yanne has her own cozy circular clothing store on the south side of The Hague’s city center. Step through the cheerful yellow door and immerse yourself in a world full of pre-loved women’s, men’s, and baby clothes, shoes, jackets, and accessories. SWAPS is open from Tuesday to Saturday, and Yanne often organizes enjoyable events, such as an evening with snacks, drinks, music, and good company. Be sure to follow @swapsdenhaag on Instagram for updates and inspiration.
Fun for you and the environment
Yanne’s enthusiasm for swapping is contagious. So, beware! Before you know it, you’ll be browsing through the racks weekly. Fortunately, shopping at SWAPS comes without guilt, and you can exchange existing items as often as you like. So, indulge in your shopping hobby limitlessly and shamelessly! Moreover, the items in the store rotate at a rapid pace: every week, you’ll find a new gem that you simply must have. And because there’s only one of each item, it feels like a unique find. So, come treasure hunting quickly at our new The Hague treasure.
Found a treasure? Then, of course, redeem your Haagse Schatten gift car here! And consider giving that voucher as a gift to a friend, friend, or family member who could secretly use a little clothing swap ๐
