In the heart of Meanjin/Brisbane, SWOP emerged in 2013 as a trailblazer in the world of sustainable fashion. What began as a single bricks-and-mortar resale store in West End has flourished into multiple vibrant locations and an online presence, all while staying true to our core belief: clothing deserves a longer, more cherished lifecycle.
Our Ethos: Quality, Integrity, Connection, and Inclusivity
- Curated Fashion Choices: At SWOP, we believe in the power of second chances. Our carefully selected range of seasonal second-hand pieces, from modern to vintage and designer labels, are exchanged for cash or store credit, offering an exciting and ever-evolving collection to our customers.
- Sustainable and Responsible: We are committed to the circular fashion economy. This means our garments are intended for prolonged use, and eventually, they re-enter the biosphere or are recycled, reducing waste and environmental impact. Transparency in pricing and our grading system from ‘fair’ to ‘mint’ condition ensure you make informed choices.
- Building Community: SWOP is more than a store; it’s a movement. Engaging with our community about responsible consumption practices, we encourage ethical and sustainable fashion choices. Partnering with like-minded organizations and social enterprises like Local Opy, we strive to make a positive impact together.
- Inclusive and Welcoming: Founded by women, for everyone. SWOP is a safe, judgment-free zone celebrating diversity. We stock items for all body types, promoting inclusivity and encouraging participation from all walks of life. We ensure our spaces, both physical and digital, are accessible to everyone.
What We Offer:
- Personalized Experience: Whether you’re shopping online or visiting our stores, expect a welcoming atmosphere where your unique style and sustainability go hand-in-hand.
