Swap your unwanted clothes for items you like more
August 17th, 2008 by
Budget Ecoist points us to the brilliant clothes-swapping website, What’s Mine is Yours. What’s Mine is Yours connects fashion-minded women with unwanted items to exchange. If you have clothes you don’t want you can list the items on the website with an approximate value and receive an item of equal value in exchange.
What’s Mines is Yours was founded in 2004 by fashion-guru Judy Berger. Judy noticed how many unwanted clothes were going to waste and wanted to do something about it. Judy’s greatest objective was not so much about creating a trading website for fashion clothing, but to create a website where traders can speak to each other. With over 13,000 registered members, it’s safe to say she’s done a brilliant job
The idea makes a lot of sense. If you can find someone of similar size, then there is a great potential for exchanging many items of clothing which might have traditionally gone to waste. The website is entirely free, and involves no payment for anything except postage.
In addition to exchanging clothes, What’s Mine is Yours also promotes and nurtures boutique and upcoming fashion designers.

This is a great site. I’ve never actually bought anything from there, but a girl has to have her window shopping fix from time to time :D
I like the idea of a swishing party too, but none of my friends are the same size as me :(
Dig’n'Swap (http://dignswap.com/index.php) is an American site along similar lines. It looks like it is fairly new and deals only in clothing and accessories.
What I really love about this website is that you can build up a network of similarly-sized people to trade clothes with. I think that’s mighty clever.
