Hey Swoperz fam! We’re still buzzing from our incredible weekend at Hautbois Fest with Girlguiding Anglia, and we just had to share all the excitement with you!
Picture this: Over 600 girls and their leaders descending on our tent for three days of non-stop fashion fun. The energy was electric, and the swaps were flying faster than we could keep up!
Here’s the scoop:
👚 Swap-tastic Success: We facilitated over 400 swaps! Our original stock vanished as girls eagerly exchanged it for their own fabulous clothes. The best part? Seeing the girls rock each other’s clothes with pride and style!
🏷️ Brand Bonanza: Zara, New Look, River Island, and TopMan were the clear favourites among our fashion-forward crowd. Talk about great taste!
🎉 Vibes for Days: Our tent was THE place to be! With music pumping and a party atmosphere, we had girls telling us we were a total “vibe.” (We’re blushing, but they’re not wrong!)
👜 Totes Amazing: We handed out 500+ tote bags, because who doesn’t love a good swag bag?
✨ Glitter Galore: Hundreds of girls, leaders, and even Hautbois staff got the glitter treatment. Sparkle on, friends!
🌟 VIP Visitor: We had the pleasure of meeting Tracy Foster from the Chief Commissioner team.
🎽 Uniform Love: Donated uniforms found new homes in record time. One lucky girl even snagged a Young Leader hoodie – cue the happy dance!
🤝 Community Connection: We were thrilled to pass on a Rangers shirt to Helen at the ARC. This donation means that another moment in guiding history can be treasures in the museum. We were sharing the love, one swap at a time!
But don’t just take our word for it. Our favourite testimonial of the weekend? “Thanks for improving my wardrobe!” from a girl who just couldn’t stop swapping!
The best news? The swapping doesn’t have to end here! Our platform is currently offering FREE swaps, so head over to Swoperz and keep the fashion revolution going!
A massive shoutout to ELWA for lending us the display equipment, and to 24 fingers for donating the wool and sustainable glitter. You guys rock!
Remember, fashion is more fun when it’s shared. So, what are you waiting for? Get swapping, and let’s make sustainable style the hottest trend of the season!
Stay fabulous,
The Swoperz Team
