Swapping is Still Hip

Eco-friendly clothing is great. Reused clothing is better. Still Hip Brooklyn is a sweet resale maternity and children's clothing spot in Clinton Hill. This week they feature an Earth Day Extravaganza with a host of events.

One such event is an Adult Cothing Swap
Details: Don't feel like a rock star in that dress from Butter? Pencil jeans got you down? Then put them in a bag marked, Still Hip Mom's Sale & Swap. Bring your stain-free and washed clothes to Still Hip on Saturday, April 26th, from 1 to 5pm and come back on Sunday to make your swap! If you've made a contribution to the Swap & Sale, you'll pay a $5 admission fee (in addition to getting credit for the items you've brought in, which can go toward any new-to-you purchases). Should you choose to only augment your closets, you'll pay a mere $10 to shop away without guilt.

Regular Drop-off days are Thursdays, 2-5pm
