“The” Guidelines
To maintain the elevated experience our attendees love, we ask that all contributions meet “The” following standards:
- Please bring 10 fashion-forward pieces—new-like or gently worn items in excellent condition. All genders and sizes are encouraged.
- Items must be freshly laundered, free from stains, holes, pilling, or visible wear. No odors or pet hair, please.
- We will not accept basics with heavy wear, company-branded gear, promotional apparel, workout wear, or anything dated or off-trend. Think “boutique-worthy,” not bottom-of-the-drawer.
Ticket Options (For Clothing Swap Access)
- VIP Access – Early swap entry, first pick of items, and a complimentary brunch cocktail.
- General Admission – Standard swap access and entry to the event experience.
- Shop-Only Pass – Browse the swap selections without contributing clothing.
