Clothing Swap Bergen + Repair Cafe

Welcome to Bergen's biggest clothing swap event! Join us in June for a clothing swap and repair cafe. This is our final event before the summer, so make sure to pick up some fine and sustainable summer outfits ❤. Of course you can also hang-out in the cafe-area to enjoy delicious vegan (and gluten-free) cakes, while you're waiting for more clothes to arrive.

When: June 18th, 11.00-16.00
Where: Bergen Kjøtt (Skutevikstorget 1)
Tickets: Kr 50-100 (at the door)

NOTE: From this event onwards, the max. amount of items you can hand in is lowered to 7 items per person. This is in order to reduce the big leftover stock CSB has to handle and to reduce the waiting time at intake. We hope for your understanding ❤.

How does it work?
Dive into your closet and collect a max. of 7 clothing items, shoes, purses or jewelry. At the swap, you will receive points for each item, depending on its type and quality. Next, take your time to look through our well-stocked racks for some nice items and pay for them with the points you received. The clothes you brought will be made available for newly arriving swappers and you'll leave with your newly swapped outfit! As we have our own stock, there are clothes available from the very beginning. Note: You can bring any points received at former events.

Repair cafe
Repair your own clothes at the repair cafe. Our experienced volunteers will help you make small repairs, like attaching a button, closing a hole, or replacing a zipper. The workshop is included in the entrance fee. The amount of repairs you can do depends on how busy it will be.

Clothing Swap Bergen is made possible by a team of volunteers with a heart for sustainable fashion. Follow us on Instagram: @clothing_swap_bergen

BERGEN KJØTT:
/// ACCESS
Bergen Kjøtt is an old factory and is working to facilitate better access roads. There's an entrance at street level, with accessibility for service dogs. There are toilet facilities for all genders and that are wheelchair accessible. Escorts have free admission, but must register in advance. Unfortunately, the elevator is being renovated during this event, which makes the swap itself not accessible for guests that depend on elevators. For more information check www.bergenkjott.org/kontakt.

/// WELCOME
Bergen Kjøtt actively supports an anti-racist, inclusive environment for all genders, backgrounds and functional abilities, which does not tolerate any form of harassment or discrimination.
