It has become a tradition to carry out an exchange of clothes at least once a month in the company “Szofa” in Dąbrowa. This time the action took place on July 2, 2021. This is a great time to clean up wardrobes before the holidays, for the benefit of the planet.
During the action, it was possible to replace unwanted clothes, shoes or accessories. The things brought by the inhabitants for exchange were fashionable and well-known brands. There was definitely a lot to choose from.
Replacing clothes, often referred to as eco-wardrobe, is an idea doomed to success, an opportunity to socialize, donate unnecessary clothes and get new ones without having to spend money. Of course, it is important that things are of good quality.
The exchange of things is part of the series of ecological activities undertaken in the project “Give your things a second life”
