''The big Schwop' is a free community event that is a mixture of 'shopping' and 'swapping.”
The aim is to bring together women and their wardrobes for an afternoon of shopping that will not dent your bank account, or your conscience.
The idea is a simple one, for women to bring along their unwanted, but good quality clothes and exchange them for vouchers.
When the Shwop begins the vouchers are 'cashed in' for any thread on offer.
Mihingarangi Forbes went along to see what she could find at Wellington's first big Shwop.
