Wharf Wellness – Clothes Swap
June 5 @11:00 am - June 8 @7:00 pm
Recharge, reset and retreat with four days of wellness at the Wharf.
Wednesday 5th – Saturday 8th June, 11am – 7pm daily!
Canary Wharf is celebrating the best of wellness at the Wharf with four days of wellbeing.
You can embark on a four-day festival of rejuvenation and wellness throughout Canary Wharf! Whether it’s a quick visit during the week, a Saturday dedicated to self-care, or some after-work ‘me time,’ they’ve curated a lineup of events just for you to feel your absolute best.
During the four days you can visit us at Verte which is a swap-shop for pre-loved fashion with the sole purpose of reducing the impact our wardrobes have on the planet.
The pop-up shop will encourage you to adopt a circular approach to refreshing your wardrobe by avoiding the need to buy new. Verte has been running events all over London & the UK since 2019 and most recently has run events for Westfield, Deliveroo and Soho House.
We will be at Canary Wharf as part of Wharf Wellness for four days, so please do come down and see us in Jubilee Place with your pre-loved clothes!
If you want to check out what else is going on during the event apart from visiting Verte, please use this link to view the events and book your free tickets.
How the clothes swap works:
- Choose your items – bring along up to five items of premium high street clothing.
- Check in – your items will be checked and tokens allocated based on brand, condition and quality. Any top end, virtually unworn pieces are in with a chance of receiving a Gold token – only redeemable with other gold items. We track your tokens using our online app – so sign up to this so that any unused tokens can be carried over for the next swap!
- Get swapping – shop using your tokens as your currency! Come back anytime over the course of the event to spend your tokens and any unspent tokens will keep on your account for one year if signed up to the online app.
