The Big Swap - Inclusive Exclusive

At The Big Swap, we’re all about sustainable fashion with a purpose.

Our aim is to get people thinking differently about clothes. Together, we’re falling back in love with our wardrobes, cutting down on waste and being more considered. We believe in everyone having the power to take action.

Our Vision sees a world where fashion and sustainability go hand in hand, with communities leading the way towards a better, greener future. It’s Our Mission to encourage people to make eco-friendly choices affecting people and planet, by offering vibrant events and educational resources. From clothing swaps to festivals, we’re raising awareness about the impact of fast fashion and our consumer choices. We’re committed to sustainable options for all and inspire social action for climate irrespective of who you are.

About this event

This October, The Big Swap launches the Inclusion Revolution #inclurevolution — a movement demanding REAL representation in sustainable fashion. Because saving the planet must include everyone 🌎

INCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE is the UK’s first plus-size-focused sustainable fashion event — we’ve been teasing it for waaaay to long 💚

We’re calling on a brands, changemakers, and communities to shift the narrative. Fashion shouldn’t exclude the majority: over 60% of UK adults are plus-sized, yet ethical options remain scarce 🫤

Expect 👉

♻️ A size 16+ clothes swap

👗 A runway where curves belong

🛍️ An ethical mini-mart for extended sizes and bespoke made-to-measure fashion

💬 Real talk with industry panel and The Big Swap ‘plus’ family

🌱 A joyful, empowering space where sustainability meets self-worth

AND

💚 Vibes, drinks, street food and good company provided by venue hosts @bustler_nottingham

This isn’t just any swap, it’s bigger and MORE 🤩

A safe space to feel seen, celebrated, and confident. A chance to connect with brands doing better. A bold stand against fast fashion’s toxic cycle of overconsumption, exclusion and exploitation 🥰

Inclusive to be exclusive. Because this time, the spotlight is on YOU ☝️
