During Wharf Wellness Verte will be at Canary Wharf hosting a swap-shop for pre-loved fashion with the sole purpose of reducing the impact our wardrobes have on the planet.
The pop-up shop will encourage you to adopt a circular approach to refreshing your wardrobe by avoiding the need to buy new. Verte has been running events all over London & the UK since 2019 and most recently has run events for Westfield, Deliveroo and Soho House.
The pop-up shop will be open in Jubilee Place over the four days (open 11am-7pm daily) of Wharf Wellness, so please pop down and visit the shop with your pre-loved clothes!
Register your interest here.
All customers who visit between 12-2pm each day will be able to have a free DASH water whilst they shop.
How the clothes swap works:
- Choose your items – bring along up to five items of premium high street clothing.
- Check in – your items will be checked and tokens allocated based on brand, condition and quality. Any top end, virtually unworn pieces are in with a chance of receiving a Gold token – only redeemable with other gold items. We track your tokens using our online app – so sign up to this so that any unused tokens can be carried over for the next swap!
- Get swapping – shop using your tokens as your currency! Come back anytime over the course of the event to spend your tokens and any unspent tokens will keep on your account for one year if signed up to the online app.
For more information on Verte and the token system, please visit Verte’s website.
Need something repaired?
You can visit the pop-up shop between 12-4pm on Thursday 6th June for free repairs and alterations. Verte’s seamstress will be able to repair minor rips and tears, reattach buttons, take up hems and take in waistbands. Just bring along the item you need fixing to discuss the job with her and agree a time for collection. The item doesn’t have to be something that you got in the swap. Please note, there is a limit to two items per person and it works on a first come, first serve basis.
