Kids POP Swap!

What better way to save some money on kids clothes than to swap them with other moms and dads!

Our first ever Kids POP Swap in partnership with POP Montreal will take place on: Saturday, September 22 from 1PM – 5PM at 51 Bernard Ouest.

Tickets will be $5 in advance (free for kids under 12).

HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

1. BUY your ticket (see above)
2. BAG your kids clothing, shoes and/or accessories (age 0-12)
Download, print and fill out this handy label and attach it to every bag of clean and folded clothing you’d like to swap. (Want to know what not to swap? See our laundering policy below.)
3. DROP OFF your clothes BY SEPTEMBER 16 at the Boutique Local 23 on 23 Bernard Ouest (Missed the deadline? No problem! Bring up to 20 items MAX with you to the event to swap!)
4. COME to the event, pick up your exchange coupons at the entrance, and start swapping!
(For every item accepted into the swap you will receive one exchange coupon valid for any other item at the swap)

BRING ALONG YOUR KIDS’ TOYS YOU DON’T NEED ANYMORE 
We will also have an extra play section set up for your kids! If you happen to have some toys you don’t need anymore, please bring them along! We won’t issue exchange coupons for them, but the kids will surely be happy to play with them during the swap. The toys will be donated to Renaissance after the event.

We do not accept for this kids swap: 
Swimwear, underwear, diapers or socks. Likewise, we do not issue exchange tickets for ripped, faded, torn, stained, scratched, dirty, frayed, missing buttons, broken zippers or otherwise worn/damaged items. Items received that fail to meet these standards will be donated to Renaissance for recycling.

Laundering policy strictly enforced 
As a courtesy to fellow swappers, please wash all clothing items you’d like to swap in hot water and dry on high for a minimum of 20 minutes (or: have them dry cleaned and keep them in the original plastic covering with a knot on the bottom). When the laundering cycles are complete, the clean laundry should be placed in new, clear recycling bags and sealed. We inspect everything that comes in and reserve the right to reject any item or bag of clothing that does NOT appear to comply with our policy.
