We’ve got a clothes swap at our Fashion, Music & Art Fair this Sunday! Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Future Fashion Fair can no longer run it but the amazing Manchester Clothes Swaps is stepping in to save the day! 🙌🏻

Bring a bag of unwanted items (max 15) - only ladies/unisex clothes, shoes and accessories accepted. Must be in good condition, no stains, holes or tears! Pay just £5 and swap your bag for any of the incredible preloved items on the rails. Don’t have any clothes to swap? Don’t worry, you can still buy any of the items left at the end of the day!

Our event runs from 11am-4pm at The Venue on Westbourne Rd in Urmston.

Such a fab evening spent at Emmaus Mossley ☺️

Their fantastic staff and volunteers all worked so hard to put on this incredible anti fast-fashion Fashion Show, featuring some stunning pieces. I had a great time rummaging through the rails, but of course I came back with things for the kids rather than myself - standard.

Can’t wait to see what they bring to Stalybridge on Sunday 2nd November!

Can I ask you a favour? Instagram is about to change to show you more content from people you don’t follow, and less from accounts you do! This means accounts/small businesses like mine could get lost 😢

If you’d like to keep up to date with when and where our amazing vintage events are happening, find out about the incredible traders we have, or just have a nosey at some fab vintage finds then please add us to your favourites!!!

Thank you so much 🙏🏻
