Giant Free Troc Party special "we trade everything"

Sort through the items buried in your closet, cluttering your drawers, and gathering dust on your shelves.

Make a trader happy and give a second life to what is still in good condition. In exchange, you can walk away with plenty of items, clothing, books, games, shoes, decor items… without limitation, brought by other traders.
Everything is completely free, no sales are allowed. Choose one of the 2 time slots (only 1 session accepted per participant!) arrive on time with everything you wish to trade, place them on the tables, and let the Free Troc Party begin!

And as a bonus, free activities for young and old and other surprises await you:

• a zero-waste participatory brunch where everyone can bring food and/or drinks and help themselves to whatever they fancy.
• an introduction to sewing and embroidery with the mediation of the Climate Academy to repair or customize a freshly traded garment by learning simple hand-sewing techniques to create a personalized patch or a repair embroidery.

What does dressing in "second-hand" change? Each year, every French person buys an average of 10 kg of clothing, household linen, and shoes. All the jeans sold by a famous American brand are equivalent to the distance from Earth to Mars... However, textiles are one of the most impactful industries in the world and our wardrobe has a strong environmental impact! For example, the production of a pair of jeans uses 8,000 L of water, and it travels around the world about 1.5 times before reaching the store. While only 1/3 of our clothes are currently collected and sorted to be reused or recycled... So dressing with second-hand, mending, customizing your clothes, creating your own accessories from recycled fabrics is taking action for the planet!
