Madison, WI's Only Sustainable Swap Shop

We are Madison’s only clothing exchange boutique. We are 100% local and our inventory is 100% sustainable. All of our garments and accessories are used goods brought in directly from our customers, making our inventory sustainable. Our clothing swap is simple and can be done in three easy steps.

  1. Drop your gently used garments at our clothing counter

  2. Receive a shopping bag to fill with fashion items to bring home

  3. Pay a $20 cover charge for ALL costs of your shopping experience
