Switch & Stitch: Clothing A Swap Market and Mending Counter By Rethink The Runway
Event Details
Trade It. Mend It. Wear It Again.
Join Rethink The Runway at the SF Ferry Building Grand Hall for Switch & Stitch — an evening market where you swap what you're done with, fix what you love, and leave with a wardrobe that actually feels like yours again.
Bring a few garments to trade or repair. Leave with new-to-you pieces, a mended favorite, and a fresh take on what's already hanging in your closet.
Hungry? The Ferry Building Marketplace on the first floor is packed with local food vendors — easy to grab dinner before or during the event.
