Swapaholics Swishing Event, London

Venue: Juno, 134-135 Shoreditch High Street, London
We’re back by popular demand. A nice civilised swishing event. You won’t end up feeling like you have just endured the worst sale shopping of your life.
We will be holding the swish at Juno, a cool bar in Shoreditch where you will be able to grab a spot of lunch from their great menu.
Bring a minimum of five items to swap CLEAN new or gently worn clothes, shoes, accessories or anything another woman would love.
No undies!!! (apart from the ones you are wearing, of course)
If everyone makes a pledge to bring these items, we are guaranteed to have a great time and go home happy bunnies
When you arrive we take your items and sort them into categories. You go into the bar and have a few drinks and a natter with your friends until browsing time commences.
Browsing time allows everyone to see what is available, try items on and see if you LOVE them. Then the swap rounds begin and you can take what you want for free. If two or more swappers want the same item, we hold a raffle and the winner is the lucky new owner. I will be available to give style advice to anyone who needs it.
All items left at the end of the event will be donated to charity.
This is a ticket only event. Tickets cost a credit busting fiver and need to be paid for in advance. We have limited number of tickets available so you need to grab one fast. Please go to www.raejames-personalstylist.com/page9.htm for more information and to purchase tickets.
