Fall Clothing Swap

Fall Clothing Swap

Surseen clothing swaps are always so much fun! The energy feels like being in a college dorm but with adults - trading fall clothes with your girlfriends over wine (that's not Franzia)!

Bring fall and transitional summer-to-fall pieces that are no longer serving you and leave with new-to-you items that have you ready for the shifting weather! Enjoy the evening “shopping” over light bites, wine, and great conversation with amazing women in Knoxville.

Upgrade your ticket for $10 to be able to get first dibs on everything in the swap!

How it works:

  1. Register below to reserve your spot. Better yet, tell a few friends to register too and make it a girls’ night out!

  2. Wash and hang at least 10 fall/transitional items in good or excellent condition (no rips, stains, etc.).

    • Items can include adult clothing, purses, shoes, and accessories. Sizing represented is typically XS - XL.

    • The more items you bring with you, the more you will be able to take home. To be fair to others, items will be spot checked for condition upon arrival.

  3. Drop off your items, grab a snack and glass of wine, and mingle starting at 5:30 pm.

    • Our address is 5415 Kingston Pike, Suite D. We are located right next to Wild Honey Records in the Cherokee Village shopping center (same one as the new Pastelitos location) in Bearden.

  4. Start “shopping” around 6:00 pm - add “Priority Pass” upgrade to get the first pass through all the goodies!

    • Everyone will get a chance at a first pass to try their top 3 items before the floor is opened up to go back for more.

    • Those who upgrade their tickets to include “Priority Pass” get to select their top 3 items before others. UPDATE: Priority Pass upgrades for this swap are now sold out!

  5. Leave with brand new-to-you pieces for the changing weather!
