I brought in three pieces that had been languishing in the back of my wardrobe and was given three stamps that I could then exchange for other people’s clothes.
My card with three stamps was equivalent to three items. Or, one item plus a pricier two-stamp purchase, like the leather Helmut Lang jacket worth over £500 I spotted and didn’t get, but can’t stop thinking about.
I was able to enjoy all aspects of the swapping experience because I wasn’t constrained by cost or practicality. I let myself have fun. Be frivolous. Try on items I wouldn’t reach for in a million years because they wouldn’t ‘fit my life’ as a working mother-of-four.If it’s not your day and you can’t find anything to bring home, you can keep hold of your tokens and use them at any upcoming Loanhood swap event, which tends to run every few months.
The good news is, there are plenty of ways to start swapping. You can download apps like Nuw and Dopplle for virtual swaps. For IRL experiences, there are dozens of options to book for free on platforms like Eventbrite.
