Since 2006, Amy Chase has been a prolific promoter of vintage style and niche shopping. Having started with a personal blog, PunkyStyle.com, she was quick to bring her love of thrift shopping to Worcester with the opening of America’s first mobile vintage shop, The Haberdash. Since then, Amy has joined Swap.com as their Fashion Director and has spread the idea and passion of clothing swaps to cities around the country; from Worcester to Boston and Los Angeles to New Orleans.
Amy and the Swap.com team is bringing the eco-friendly mantra of “swapping before shopping” back to Worcester on Saturday, May 14th at Crompton Place (138 Green Street).
Those looking to participate can drop off a bag of gently-loved items from 11am-1pm, where they will receive a self-guided tour map of the Canal District, featuring a map of all the new boutiques & area restaurants that are offering special deals for swap participants.
The swap will begin at 2pm sharp and participants can fill up a bag with fun new finds – although it’s typically a mad dash for the best stuff, often compared to the “Running of the Brides.” All items leftover at the end of the swap will be donated to Goodwill of Massachusetts in Worcester.
