My Swish vintage clothes swap

Clothes swapping - ain't it great. My Swish events offer the perfect opportunity to swap those unwanted clothes cluttering up your wardrobe for new-to-you gems from beyond your circle of friends.

Brighton is full of stylish folk, so there are always fabulous finds to be had, but their first ever 'vintage and retro swish', held at the Blind Tiger this Sunday, was in my humble opinion, the best yet.


Goodie bags with free copies of Vintage Explorer magazines, tea and Cloud 9 chocolate brownies served on vintage china from Roses All Over and vintage styling and shopping courtesy of from Emily Inglis from Wooden Hill Boutique - and all that on top of free clothes!

Helping the Swishettes sort, tag and hang the clothes, I got to have a sneaky peak at the best bits before the snatching began, and managed to bag a cute green beaded knit, canary yellow floral summer dress, 1960s pop art mini for a friend and, the steal of the day/month/year - a Marc by Marc Jacobs sun dress!
