What is Consumption Collab?
ABOUT US
Are you familiar with the term Collaborative Consumption? It’s defined as the shared use of a good or service by a group. Collaborative Consumption allows people to divide the cost of something they may not be able to afford on their own. Sharing is a great idea but we have something even better in store.
We are CONSUMPTION COLLAB, a team dedicated in coming together so we can inspire and collaborate with others. We believe that YOU, the consumer, deserve MORE for sharing and FUN while doing so. Our business specializes in Themed Clothing Swap Parties and Pop Up Shops that include live music, art, and recycled clothing. Creators, Emanda and Veronica, are inspired everyday by the creatives within the community and would like to encourage others to CONSUME in small business. In order to make our vision a reality we must COLLABORATE and support our fellow curators. We bring you an opportunity to gather with your peers and trade passions in an atmosphere specifically designed for you.

SWAP PARTY
A GUIDE TO PLANNING YOUR OWN SWAP!
A Clothing Swap Party is a great way to refresh your style by trading clothes, accessories, and decor you no longer wear or use. The objective of swapping is to provide an alternative to fast paced consumerism. Exchanging used goods is not only Eco-friendly but affordable as well!
How to host a Clothing Swap Party:
1. Start with invites, decor, clothing racks, tables, chairs, mirrors, etc. and everything else to turn your desired space into a boutique! Don’t have racks? That’s fine, use some tables or the floor!
2. Give yourself atleast half an hour to set up your guest’s clothing after they arrive. If clothing can be brought anytime prior to your party it helps the party begin sooner.
3. Please tell your participants to bring items in reusable condition.
4. For each item a person brings they will receive a ticket. These tickets are now currency used to “purchase” anything that catches their eye. One ticket = one item. Or have a free for all!
5. Donate any unwanted or leftover items to local orgs in need of clothing! Contact us and we can help you find places to donate.

Clothing Swap
Partner Mail Exchange
We would like to introduce our mail exchange as a place where folks are able to reach out to people outside of their normal circles to find more styles and sizes to swap clothing with. By following these guidelines, we can welcome existing and new members to the Clothing Swap community. Any clothing, shoes, or accessories you send should be in good condition with minimal wear and no stains. In return, you’ll be embraced by a friendly and welcoming community of amazing people who are passionate about keeping textile waste out of landfills and reusing garments to their fullest potential.
