“The” Breakfast Club: A Clothing Swap Soirée

Set to be our most nostalgic event yet, our September clothing swap soirée is where pre-loved fashion takes center stage and sustainability steals the show.

Inspired by the original cult classic, The Breakfast Club clothing swap soirée channels the iconic characters, their unforgettable wardrobes, and the distinct personalities that defined a generation.

Expect a nostalgic nod to rebellion, self-expression, and high-style with a sustainable twist.

Beyond the clothing swap, the soirée will feature a full vendor market powered by fayVen, Permanent Jewelry with Fuse Me Baby, sustainable clothing vendors, and adoptable puppies from Mercy Full Project. Whether you're swapping, sipping, or shopping, this event is your perfect excuse to celebrate community and sustainable fashion in style this September.

How the Clothing Swap Works

Presented by "The" Swap Soirée, this curated clothing swap allows ticket holders to shop a merchandised collection of pre-loved fashion—each piece thoughtfully contributed by fellow attendees and transformed into a boutique-style shopping experience.

1. Select Your Ticket - Purchase your ticket to secure your spot at the swap!
2. Drop Off Your Items - Bring 10 clean, gently-worn clothing or shoe items during the designated drop-off times.
3. Get "The" Bag - At check-in, receive your exclusive swap tote—your token to shop.
4. Shop "The" Swap - Browse a curated selection of stylish, pre-loved fashion and take home up to 10 new-to-you pieces.

Important Note: Only the Clothing Swap Requires a Ticket

The vendor market and puppy adoption activities are FREE and open to the public - no ticket required!

“The” Guidelines

To maintain the elevated experience our attendees love, we ask that all contributions meet “The” following standards:

• Please bring 10 fashion-forward pieces—new-like or gently worn items in excellent condition. All genders and sizes are encouraged.
• Items must be freshly laundered, free from stains, holes, pilling, or visible wear. No odors or pet hair, please.
• We will not accept basics with heavy wear, company-branded gear, promotional apparel, workout wear, or anything dated or off-trend. Think “boutique-worthy,” not bottom-of-the-drawer.

Ticket Options (For Clothing Swap Access)

• VIP Access – Early swap entry, first pick of items, and a complimentary brunch cocktail.
• General Admission – Standard swap access and entry to the event experience.
• Shop-Only Pass – Browse the swap selections without contributing clothing.
