Sip & Swap

this activity has ended

What is the concept?

GaiaOne is excited to bring the community together to bond over slow fashion. The concept is a pop-up café with a clothes swap!

Enjoy board games, music, drinks and snacks.
And the best part? Admission is FREE!

How it works

  • Bring at least 3 items of clothing to swap with the community. Items must be clean and in good condition.
  • You will receive a token for each item you bring. Tokens can be exchanged for an item of clothing.
  • At the end of the event, any leftover clothing will be donated to communities in need.
  • If you fall in love with an item that doesn't fit perfectly, don't worry! GaiaOne can provide contact details for skilled seamstresses who can help you find the perfect fit.

Why slow fashion?

Slow Fashion focuses on quality over quantity, emphasising timeless pieces and sustainable practices. By choosing slow fashion, you are helping to reduce waste, support ethical production and encourage a more thoughtful approach to style. It's a way to make a positive impact on both the environment and the communities involved in fashion.

Organisers & Venue

Venue Drunken Door

Drunken Door is the perfect hideaway for those seeking an escape from the ordinary. This beautiful speakeasy-inspired bar exudes vintage charm, with soft lighting and cosy decor setting the stage for a laid-back evening. Among the eclectic offerings is the signature drink Indizan, which combines the spice of masala chai with the sweetness of lihing, anyone?

1st Floor, lot 3A, Lorong Dewan, Pusat Bandar Kota Kinabalu, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.
