Collaboration
We habe high hopes. High hopes of textiles, but also high hopes to make the world a better place. With The Swapshop we want to reduce the textile mountains, but besides swapping the hopes of non swappable clothes is getting bigger as well. We are hopeful about solutions. Since we started this adventure, we are working together with partners to find ways to reduce these hopes.
