Natural Fabrics Clothing Swap in South Lake Tahoe

FUN FACT: Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, hemp, and wool come from plants or animals—meaning they can often biodegrade instead of lingering in the environment like many synthetic fibers.

What you wear matters! 🌿 Choosing natural fabrics can help reduce our reliance on plastic-based fibers and give clothes a more earth-friendly end of life.

What to Bring

We’re creating a curated shopping experience, so please bring pieces that reflect quality, style, and are in excellent condition, gently used items you would gift a friend.

Especially Desired:

• Gently worn clothing and jewelry

• Natural fabrics such as linen, silk, cotton, cashmere, wool, and leather

• High-quality denim

• Unique one of a kind pieces

• Handmade and artisan samples

• Handbags and exceptional accessories

• Swimwear and shoes

• All shapes and genders welcome

Every item should be freshly cleaned, free of stains, odors, tears, missing buttons, or needed repairs.

Bring a bag!

Clothing tip: wear form fitting tank tops or shorts underneath to lessen exposure when trying on clothes. (Optional)

Please leave these at home

To keep the swap curated, we kindly ask that you do not bring:

• Heavily worn items

• Clothing with stains, holes, pilling, or damage

• Undergarments, or socks

Our goal is quality over quantity—think boutique closet rather than donation bin.
