SO,SWAPPING?
The SW4P Shop is an online swap shop that creates a platform for clothes lovers (and anyone who wears clothes) to access clothes that other people would want to let go of.
It provides not only a sustainable solution to shopping, but also a circular economy for Kenyans by Kenyans.
The shop makes clothes accessible!
The SW4P Shop is a by-product of 25SW4P which holds physical swap gatherings.
