Live: PDX Clothing Swaps
So, what is PDXSwap, anyway? Well, we're a group of women in the Portland Metro area who get together on a regular basis for a clothing swap! If you've ever been to a clothing swap (or even a thrift store), you know what a pain it is to sift through racks and piles of clothes, hunting desperately for your size. By concentrating on one segment of clothing sizes in each swap group, we're able to have a fun, easy time of just swapping clothes (and shoes, and belts, and mittens...). Kids swaps too!
Throughout the month, locations differ.
Sign up for your size group at pdxswap.com
