About us:

Change Clothes Crumlin is a new clothing reuse hub for the Crumlin area of Dublin.


We're creating a social community space for swapping, upcycling, mending, learning, and meeting like-minded people.

Everyone is welcome to take part. We encourage people of all genders, ages and backgrounds to come and swap with us.

Join us for our first rounds of clothing reuse events! These events have been made possible thanks to funding from Creative Climate Action Ireland through the Crumlin Taking Action Together initiative.
