Saudi Fashion Commission to host third Swap Shop in Riyadh

To promote ethical and sustainable fashion choices, the Saudi Fashion Commission will host the third edition of Swap Shop in Riyadh, in Square 1’s ‘A Fashion House’.  

The event, held in collaboration with Sela and Cenomi Retail, will take place on April 1-5 and will be open to the general public from 9 pm to 1.30 am.   

Guests can swap pre-loved clothing and accessories for other used pieces, or, alternatively, exchange them for new items provided by Cenomi Retail.  

The Saudi Fashion Commission hopes that Swap Shop can raise consumers’ awareness about the creation of a sustainable Saudi fashion scene. 

 CEO of the Saudi Fashion Commission, Burak Cakmak, said: “As we work towards a sustainable future for the industry, we want to involve consumers in this journey and share with them the importance of circulating pre-loved clothing.

“Thank you in advance to everyone taking part in this initiative – I look forward to hearing about the best finds and one-of-a-kind pieces from the Swap Shop treasure trove.”

The second edition of Swap Shop at Fashion Futures 2022, held in partnership with YOOX Net-a-Porter and sponsored by Al Hokair, saw around 1,300 visitors, with almost 1,000 people swapping clothes and 5,500 items brought to the Swap Shop.
