Earth logo of the Houston Clothing Swap

The Houston Clothing Swap is an event that Raquel Sandate, Diana Cwick, and Sam Lopez host twice a year where attendees can bring and take unlimited amounts of clothes for only a small fee. In hosting these events, we are helping those who do not have the funds to rebuild their wardrobes, those who want to rehome their clothing in a responsible way, and providing a space where the community can “shop” sustainability, and ultimately cultivate a circular economy.
