– Message from FabCafe for Offline Event Attendees –

Requested countermeasures against coronavirus infection include the following:

・Please wear a mask while participating in our offline event. Those who do not wear a mask will not be allowed to participate.

Thank you very much for your understanding, let’s get through this together!

  • Did you know, second to oil, the clothing and textile industry is the largest polluter in the world?

    One way that we, as consumers, can make a difference is by extending the life of our clothes and giving already existing cloths a new home. Through swapping events, we can reduce our impact on the environment and save money.

    If you have any unwanted clothing, accessories or small household items, join us at FabCafe MTRL (2F) for an afternoon of swapping and networking with local people who are passionate about sustainability.

  • Swap Stories Tokyo is a Tokyo-based, globally-minded initiative that aims to bring people together through a collective ownership of things. We believe that for sustainability to truly become a part of all our lives, it needs to be accessible, shareable and fun. We organize clothing swap events in Tokyo to help people connect better with each other and with our planet.

  • With the vision of “delivering vaccines to children around the world,” Furigi De Vaccine provides support to countries struggling with infectious diseases through the collection of used clothing in Japan. Specifically, for every collection box purchased, the NPO donates polio vaccines to five children. In addition, through this project, they are also creating jobs in developing countries and for handicapped people in Japan.
