Welcome to Pure Yoga

At Pure Yoga Somerset Joanna from Slow and Circular Upcycling Studio and Rachael from Olive and Rosy hold Seasonal Clothes Swaps four times a year. ​

​

Why Swap?
The aim of the swaps is to encourage our local community to support the circular clothing economy and step away from the endless production cycles of fast fashion, all the while building connections and spending an enjoyable time with friends old and new.

As well as being great fun, the benefits of clothes swapping include:

• Helping us to clear out our wardrobes responsibly by extending the life of the garments we no longer wear.

• Diverting still usable textiles from the landfill which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage.

• Being a low to no cost way to refresh your wardrobe. 

• Providing a risk- free opportunity to try out new styles and colours that you might not usually buy (just reswap them next time if they don’t suit)

• Casting your vote against the fast fashion industry and overconsumption

• Meeting like minded people who care about the impact of their choices and shopping habits on the environment.

​

Meet Your Hosts:
Joanna is passionate about saving textile waste and transforming it into something wearable again. You can check out some of her upcycled creations on her instagram page and sometimes making an appearance at the swaps!

At her shop in Wellington and online Rachael curates responsible clothing collections made up of both pre-owned, repaired or upcycled garments and new pieces from sustainable brands. 

​

How it Works:

Come to the studio between 12:30-1:30pm to drop off upto 5 items of good quality clothes that are washed and ironed that you no longer want. Then return between 2-3pm to choose 5 items to take home with you!
