Free Clothing Swap Circle in Berkeley
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive | 2155 Center St, Berkeley, CA 94720
Event Details
Join SWAP CIRCLE and BAMPFA for an afternoon of shared community, creative exchange and joy! This isn’t just a clothing swap. It’s an invitation to slow down, rethink how we consume, and build something more generous together. One garment at a time.
How It Works & What to Bring
Bring up to 20 special clothing or accessory items you know someone else would love. These will be “gifts” to your fellow swappers. (When you go through your closet, choose things you would proudly give a good friend). You will receive tokens for your accepted items, up to 20. You will have free access to use these tokens to then “shop” during the event.
Accepted Items
Clothing — items should be for adults (all genders) and clean; please do not bring workout gear, socks or undergarments, swimsuits, lingerie or children’s clothing.
Accessories — includes purses, belts, sunglasses, scarves, hats (please do not bring jewelry)
Mendable items are welcome.
Please do not bring items on hangers.
Drop Off
We encourage participants to drop-off items at BAMPFA on Saturday, June 27 from 11am–4pm. When you drop off your items, you will receive tokens that will allow you to then “shop” the event on Sunday, June 28 from 1pm–4pm.
Our stylists will be reviewing all items, and you will receive tokens for your accepted items. One accepted item = one token.
You can also bring your items the day of the event beginning at 1pm. Note: you may be required to display your items before you start browsing, so dropping off beforehand is recommended.
If you brought items in advance and have tokens, please proceed into the event and enjoy perusing items! Each token indicates the number of items that you can bring home with you.
If you are bringing items the day of the event, please go to the CHECK-IN table to collect your tokens and to receive instructions on where to display your items. Remember that you may be required to display your items before you start browsing, so dropping off beforehand on Saturday June 27 from 11am–4pm is recommended.
