Frequently Asked Questions

  • A clothing exchange is an opportunity for everyone to shop for stylish, gently used garments on the sustainable market.

  • Bring up to three bags of gently used, high-quality clothing, pay the $20 cover charge, and take home as many items as you can fit in your bag(s).

  • We accept:

    • Any and all gently used items

    • High-quality garments

    • Designer and name-brand pieces (not required)

    • Sizes 0-30

    • Accessories and jewelry

    • Shoes - all sizes

    • Soft goods (scarves, hats, and bags)

    • Menswear

    Not Encouraged:

    • Undergarments

    • Dirty or torn garments (unless it is part of the initial design)

  • The cover charge is a flat fee paid before swapping your garments to cover the cost for an even exchange.

  • If you bring a bag following our accepted garments guide, you leave with a bag of new ones. If you bring one garment/accessory, you leave with one. An even exchange does NOT mean you must exchange a shirt for a shirt or a necklace for a necklace.

  • If by some chance you can't find anything that catches your eye, let one of our employees know and they will give you a coupon for your next visit. Sadly, we cannot give back your clothing donation but we can guarantee a GREAT next visit.

  • We host private parties in our clothing boutique for an affordable rate. The host swaps for free and your guests swap for half price. Email us at upshiftgear@gmail.com for more details.

    The venue is intimate and can accommodate up to twenty people. We allow outside food, which saves catering fees.
