Clothing Swap Mechanicsburg- Boutique Shopping Events

Clothing Swap Mechanicsburg is an exciting and sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe with a fun and inclusive shopping experience while helping to provide support to victims of domestic violence through contributions and awareness.

What exactly is a Clothes Swap and how does it work?

It's a fun and sustainable way to refresh your closet without spending a lot of money by exploring items once loved by someone else. This event is designed to help shed unwanted items burdening our closets in exchange for unique new finds at a low cost. With a collection launch event evening in early September and in the weeks leading up to the swap fashionable women and local boutiques donate their unwanted clothes.
