Welcome to Verte
The clothes swapping company in London.
Our vision is to live in a world where everyone considers shopping second hand as their first port of call, before shopping for something new.
We are on a mission to de-stigmatise current perception of the second hand clothing market. We want to become the ‘go to’ place for curated, high quality pre-loved or unworn pieces and to create a community for swapping amongst a fashion savvy audience.
With just 30% of clothing donated to charity shops being resold, over $500bn of value is wasted every year through under-wearing and failure to recycle clothing.
By extending the lifespan of clothing by just one year, we can reduce carbon emissions by 24%.
Shopping doesn’t have to continue damaging the environment at the current rate, we have the opportunity to change consumer attitudes towards purchasing habits.
We’re here to help you update your wardrobe
without the negative impact on the planet
How it works
1
Drop off your garms
We can take in collections any time in the run up to the event, just drop us a message. If you can’t drop them in advance, just bring them along on the day.
2
Claim your tokens
Depending on the quality of each item you bring to the swap, we’ll give you a corresponding number of tokens. We’ve got a sliding scale, from high-street to luxury so no one loses out.
3
Swap, don’t shop!
Once we open the rails, it’s on. Get yourself a drink and peruse at your leisure. Each item will have a token value. We rotate stock throughout the swap so no one misses out!
