Set-up a SWAP-SPOT

SIGNS for the SPOT:

Email us on circularwear@gmail.com and we will send you a shared folder with:

• SWAP SPOT signal for your free adjustment;

• "how it works" poster;

• impact measurement sheet;

• leaflet with information about the fashion industry.

After receiving the files and adapting to your SPOT, be creative and try to reuse as much as you can to make it possible to have the signals great and sustainable.

Some inspiration of what has already been done: 

• use spare pieces of wood;

• use other material you might have extra and where you can paint / print or even bring to the printing store so they can use it.

First set of CLOTHES:

If you are a space with a community (co-working, cafe, hostel, bar, company, startup, or any other):

• send a call-out to your members asking for 1 piece of clothing they don´t wear anymore (we can send you this file too);

• set a date for the first day of the SPOT;

• hang on the SWAP-SPOT all the items brought on the day.
  
  

If you are a space that has no established community to reach out to yet:

• ask your friends for 1 piece of clothing they don´t wear anymore:

• look up in your closet, for sure you will find some;

• contact us and we will bring you some items for the first set of clothes of the SPOT.
  
  

Be part of our COMMUNITY:

To be part of the CW network of SWAP-SPOTs, be included in the lists, be shared on our channels, and have your SPOT promoted on our website, email us with:

• the accurate address of your SPOT;

• your logo, so we can include it in our SWAP-SPOTs page;

• photos of your new SWAP-SPOT. 

After the SWAP-SPOT is all set-up:

• keep it tidy;

• don´t let it get overloaded;

• make some adjustments when the season changes (keep the winter clothes stored when summer arrives);

• donate surplus clothes that you see have not been taken by anyone for many months, to a local charity or another SPOT around you.
  
  

GET IN TOUCH if you need help with:

• connecting with a local charity for donations if needed;

• communicating your SWAP-SPOT;

• getting more stock or rotating items.
