DGal Shop & Swap Party Seoul

When: Sunday, May 1st, 2016 from 4:oo – 7:00pm

Why you need to go?

Clothing SWAPS/flea markets are fashion/ECO forward!  They promote reusing what already exists rather than creating more waste, so it’s important that we spread this fashion phenomenon.  You are  welcome to take your items back with you. But if you decide to leave it then the clothing not sold or swapped will be donated. Fashion for a cause!

BONUS: DistrictGal actually went to school for fashion.  You may have already been to many clothing swaps in Seoul, but this one will look nothing like a cluttered, messy bedroom. Instead, you might feel like you’ve wandered into a posh living room with on-point options.  LADIES & GENTS alike can come relax, cheerfully (or hipster-ly, if that’s your alley) talk about style, and sip on a cocktail.  Bring unwanted but clean, swap-able oldies but sassy goodies (tops, pants, shoes, bags & accessories). If you have nothing to swap, but want to shop just come anyway you will find some cheap chic pieces, and enjoy the atmosphere. Yvette Cruz, bloggist of www.districtgal.com will be on the sidelines providing you with fashion tips.  BE GLAMOROUS THE GREEN WAY!

What: Come celebrate, listen to cool beats, and enjoy a DGal Style SHOP & SWAP Party at the Living Room Seoul in HBC.  All attendees will receive a one-time free entry to Club Villa along with a special discount on bottle service.  The club entry + service are valid through the end of May! Please note that you must arrive before midnight. Also, you have the chance to WIN a free kickboxing class membership for 3 months.  It’s a perfect chance for you to get fit for your spring/summer wardrobe.   See below to learn more about the Japanese instructor.  In order for these to apply, please ensure that you follow all required giveaway steps. 

Where:   {SPACE ANNOUNCEMENT}

VENDORS (vendors, not buyers):  Space is limited and participants MUST secure their spots by paying a small rental fee.  The space is only available to the first 25 participants who secure their spots in advance by notifying DGal at districtgalista@gmail.com. If you decide to be a vendor the day of there will be a slightly higher fee.

SHOPPERS:  Attendee’s entrance fee is $10 and includes a free cup of tea and a drink from the bar.  You should bring a bag of clothes to swap, because even though some items will be sold the focus is all on the SWAP. Bring your own bags so you can shop/swap with vendors. You will have the chance to walk out with fun, NEW-TO-YOU items while saving the big bucks.  Bring sassy clothes (no rips/dirty pieces) to swap and cash to shop!! Finally, you will be asked to write your name in the guest book at the entrance to secure your name on the list for free club entry at Club Villa. Note: You cannot sell items- only Shop or Swap!  You should bring wearable items that you feel someone could make use of.  Shoot me an email if you have any questions about the party.
