About Us

Ever increasing listing fees on existing
online sites along with a credit crunch market resulted in the birth
of Swop2Shop. Buying that new dress for a party was just not within
the budget anymore so we began to swop clothes amongst our group of
friends. Sharing a designer handbag or swopping a dress for a pair of
trousers and a top became the solution, eliminating the need for cash
and guilty feelings. Swop2Shop was launched. Swop2Shop has plans to
launch further sites where points can be traded. All points will be
tradable within all Swop2Shop sites.

Swop2Shop Classics, Trends and now

The Eco
Home Centre in Canton, Cardiff is holding a Community Open Day on the
25th of July. The day will consist of a range of activities for
people to come along and enjoy and learn from. There will be an
afternoon Natural Painting workshop where people can learn how to
make their own paint and also a morning workshop about
Eco-refurbishment. Information can be found at
www.ecohomecentre.co.uk.

The
Paint Making workshop is suitable for adults and kids alike as it
will involve getting down and dirty with paint making. Many paints
can be made everyday items like eggs and milk, so if you want to make
your own organic paint, just use organic ingredients bought from the
shops. All this and may more tricks of the trade will be revealed on
the day.

The
Eco-refurbishment workshop will focus on how to improve your home
using local sustainable materials and also retro-fit products to
reduce energy and water consumption. All the inform ation will be
practically based and also focused on affordability and ease of use.

An
everyday visit can be very beneficial since The Eco Home Centre is a
rich source of free information and resources for people to gain the
knowledge and confidence they need to create sustainable homes. As
well as eco-friendly building and DIY products, the centre has a wide
range of literature from the Energy Saving Trust and a library of
books and publications that can be perused over a cup of fairtrade
tea or coffee.

The
focus of the centre is on sustainable refurbishment, since most of
the work that needs to be done in Cardiff is to the existing housing
stock. To RDE this means finding solutions to building problems that
are environmentally friendly, affordable and appropriate for the
building. The Eco Home Centre is therefore designed to be accessible
to all rather than just the well-healed green self-build pioneers.
RDE is keen to show that creating ‘green’ homes is not just for the
affluent in society, it is something that can be accessible to
everyone.

The Eco
Home Centre is in 16 Wyndham Crescent (just off of Cowbridge Road and
opposite the car park) and so is very accessible by public transport
(no. 61 stops outside the door, alternatively any bus going up
Cowbridge Road is just a minute away). Bikes can be brought inside,
but we will be a little short of space.

11 June London clothes
swap will be massive

www.DaisyGreenMagazine.co.uk
and ethical stylist have teamed up to host what is hoped
to be the UK’s biggest ever clothes swap.

E-tickets are now on
sale for the swap that will take place on Thursday 11 June at the
opulent, brand new surroundings of INC Space in Grape Street, London
WC2.

With swishing now
established as a new craze, 100s of people are expected bringing with
them 1,000s of clothes. Nicola Alexander, Founder of ethical online
women’s magazine, daisygreenmagazine.co.uk,
said:

“Swishing is a
really fantastic way to beat the credit crunch and steer clear of
fast fashion made in sweat shops. It is a great girls’ night out
and you can find some amazing bargains, including good-as-new
garments from designer names. It’s like a fashion treasure hunt!”

The evening will
kick off at 6.30 and, as well as the swish, it will feature an
ethical styling demonstration by Lupe Castro, music from top green
band, The Phoenix Rose, burlesque dancing and shopping opportunities
from ethical fashion brands including Bochica, Makepiece, Bourgeois
Boheme, Cred Jewellery and natural beauty company, Green People.

DaisyGreenMagazine.co.uk
recently hosted a hugely successful swish at UKaware at Olympia 2
which was so popular it turned into a marathon of six swishes.

Tickets are £10 in
advance and £15 on the door available from
nicola@daisygreenmagazine.co.uk
