Clothes swap in the needle factory

On Saturday, October 17, the Nadelfabrik is hosting a clothing swap from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

A clothing swap is a sustainable and affordable way to breathe new life into your wardrobe. As the weather changes, adults can drop off and take home clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories for free.

Any remaining clothing items will be donated after the event. Admission is free.

Non-alcoholic beverages are available for a quick refreshment between meals.

The clothing swap is being held in cooperation with “nAChhaltig angezogen.” This volunteer-run initiative based in Aachen promotes a more sustainable approach to clothing and has been organizing clothing swap events, flea markets, upcycling workshops, and secondhand shopping tours since 2020 to encourage more mindful consumption.

Exchange rules and additional information are available at aachen.de/nadelfabrik.

If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact us by email at: nadelfabrik@mail.aachen.de

Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026, 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Seminar rooms at the Nadelfabrik, Reichsweg 30, 52068 Aachen
