Since we've had to cancel our next few swap shops, we decided we'd do something with our stockpile of lovely items we have. So we've set up a little Depop store for ourselves! Give us a follow at Swap Shop Limerick (or find the link on our Social Media page).
Online shopping might look like the perfect solution to dealing with self-isolation during quarantine, but it's so important to choose carefully who you shop from. Chances are if you're ordering that loungewear set that all the influencers are sporting on their Insta stories, you're essentially putting workers all through the supply chain at risk. So try and support small local businesses, or small suppliers on Depop, and minimise the risk to other people. That's our plan anyway!
Much Love,

Hi everyone,
As you know, we cancelled our March swap shop due to the restrictions in place over the Covid-19 breakout in Ireland. We've now decided to cancel all future Swap Shop Limerick events for the foreseeable future.
We had always planned on taking the summer off and not running events through June, July and August because we figured either we ourselves or most of our customers would be at one festival or another. However now we are cancelling both events in April and May.
To say we're disappointed would be an understatement. We had such wonderful plans for both months, including a panel talk on sustainable fashion for April (as well as being the anniversary of our first ever swap, it would have also been Fashion Revolution Week), and a festival fashion special swap for May.
We hope you're all finding ways to stay safe and sane, and we will hopefully be back in September for the swap shop goodness!
Much Love
Aimee & Ellen
