TOAST Exchange
Finding new paths for much-loved pieces
TOAST Exchange explores a garment’s life beyond its first wearer. To date we have found new paths for more than 4,000 much-loved pieces.
Swap up to five TOAST items you’ve cherished for others at your local clothes swapping event on selected days throughout the year.
How Does It Work?
Bring up to five worn TOAST garments, receive a token in exchange for each, browse the pieces labelled with their history and select your items to cherish and take home.

Swapping Events
Due to the lower volume of menswear contributions, we cannot guarantee that menswear pieces will be available at each event for you to swap. We are able to accept menswear pieces in our Exchange events and we hope to increase the number of pieces in our Exchange programme for future seasons.
If you are unable to attend an event, you can visit our Bath, Edinburgh, or London Notting Hill shops, where you can browse a rail of Exchange pieces on any day throughout the year.
Exchange Tiers
You will receive one of three tokens in exchange for each of your garments, reflecting the original value of your TOAST garment as decided by our team.
Yellow: Up to £150
Green: £151-£250
Amber: Over £250
“I love coming along with my daughter. It’s just like when I’m at Portobello Road Market hunting for objects. We both share a passion for our environment and buying pre-loved clothing is a way to do our part for the planet.”
Krisztina, a regular at our Exchange events
What Can You Swap?
We only accept garments that have been well cared for and are free of faults, such as rips, holes and stains. All items will be assessed using the TOAST Exchange Swapping Guide. The TOAST team can refuse any items brought to the event that do not meet the Exchange criteria.
