Event Details

Trade It. Mend It. Wear It Again.

​Join Rethink The Runway at the SF Ferry Building Grand Hall for Switch & Stitch — an evening market where you swap what you’re done with, fix what you love, and leave with a wardrobe that actually feels like yours again.

​Bring a few garments to trade or repair. Leave with new-to-you pieces, a mended favorite, and a fresh take on what’s already hanging in your closet.

​Event Highlights

  • Curated Clothing Swap Market: Trade pieces you no longer reach for and discover something fresh by bringing up to 5 garments to trade 1:1. Meet with expert stylists Kara Fabella and Naomi Ha to help you shop and style your best looks! Any left over clothing will be donated to St. Anthony’s Free Clothing Program.

  • Garment Mending Counter: Our 6 expert menders will revive, patch, and repair a favorite garment for you, with supplies from returning partner Kimonomomo. Service is subject to mender availability, Atelier ticket holders get a guaranteed slot (see Tickets).

  • DIY Fashion & Upcycle Counter: Want to get hands-on? Bring your own worn garments to patch, mend, or upcycle in our drop-in creative zone run by expert makers. Supplies provided by returning partner FabMo.

  • Sips & Community: Enjoy complimentary non-alcoholic beverages from Oomee while connecting with the Bay Area’s sustainable fashion community, waterfront views included.
