Read full description

The Clothing Loop is an initiative that offers an easy way for people to swap clothes with others in their own neighborhood. It’s fun, free and sustainable! The idea is simple: (large) bags filled with second hand clothes​ travel along a route past all participants in a certain city or district. You can keep what you like, and donate nice things that are ready for a new owner. In this app you can keep track of the location of the swap bag(s) in your Loop.
