Collections

What can you expect?

The collection on swap-studio is curated. This means we individually vet each item that is posted to ensure it meets our quality standards.

Most items are posted from our members closets, but we also feature a growing number of new or not-quite-perfect products from our zero waste partnership program. 

Freshly-laundered, gently-used clothing and accessories for men, woman and kids and household goods that are still in good condition are all welcome.

We accept most brands, just make sure you follow our photo guide for fashion and living to ensure your images meet our community requirements.

Clothing should be free from stains, tears/rips/holes, missing/broken parts and alterations. All defects must be shown in photographs/ listed in product listing All items must be free from odours, pilling, fading, stretching. Sometimes we see garments that are totally wearable, or receive stock from our partners that have minor imperfections. Whether it's a tiny snag, a faint stain or a missing button, at our discretion, we may accept a garment. We only accept items that are absolutely wearable, so don't be afraid to upload something that is imperfect! Specific details about the flaw should be clearly mentioned in the product listing.
