Livat Hammersmith SwapRoom

This November (11th -19th) , Livat Hammersmith are inviting shoppers down to embrace the spirit of sustainability and immerse themselves in a unique shopping experience at their free ‘SwapRoom’ - allowing visitors to trade in their pre-loved goods and uncover new treasures.

The SwapRoom will include clothing, accessories, toys, packaged gifts and Christmas decorations. To participate, visitors simply need to bring up to six unwanted items to exchange for new goods. All goods will be checked for quality and exchanged for equivalents.

The Swaproom will also feature a winter clothing donation, where all leftover items will be going to West London Welcome - a community centre in Hammersmith run for and with refugees.

For those who want to take the sustainable activities one step further, ‘Fix It, Don’t Ditch It’ workshops are available to book online. Running throughout the week, visitors will have the chance to learn new repairing skills, including patchwork and darning. The Livat’s monthly Clothes Mending Circle will also be occurring on the 11th of November.
