Clothing Swap BRING//TAKE 2026

In Center Rog, on Friday, 24 April 2026, between 15:00 and 20:00, the clothing swap PRINESI//ODNESI returns. Bring clean and well-preserved clothes and fashion accessories you no longer wear, and take something “new” for yourself.

The swap will take place during the twelfth international (Fashion Revolution Week), within which the Chair of Textile and Clothing Design at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering of the University of Ljubljana joins events around the world.

The global movement Fashion Revolution annually commemorates and serves as a reminder of the tragic event when the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh collapsed and buried more than 1,100 people. Fashion Revolution Week highlights the urgent need for change in the fashion and textile industry.

With its annual clothing swap, Center Rog supports more sustainable approaches in fashion and clothing and creates a space for raising awareness about the importance of reuse and respect for fellow humans.

Last year’s clothing swap was also supported by 30 Slovenian fashion designers and brands with their designer pieces: Akultura (Alenka Globočnik), Almira Sadar, Ana Jelinič, ANIDA (Anita Miklavčič), Arijana Gadžijev, Barbara Vrbančič, Brencha (Brina Vidic), Cliché (Jelena Pirkmajer), Elena Fajt, Hishka, JSP (Jelena and Svetlana Proković), Jona Bednjanec, Kaja Bakan, Maja Štamol, Mila Krasna, Mila.Vert, Princip (Mojca Celin), Volja (Nejc Šubic), Nataša Hrupić, Nataša Peršuh, Peter Movrin, Petja Zorec, Sanija Reja Aske, Salvija Leisurewear, Sari Valenci, SofiaNogard, Studio Draž, Tanja Devetak, Tanja Zorn Grželj and Zala Hrastar. This year as well, we expect a wide range of designers and design brands.

The PRINESI//ODNESI 2026 event will conclude with the announcement of winners of designer pieces selected by prior lottery, a selection for the best outfit of the event, and sweet surprises.

How can I participate?

On the day of the event, Friday, 24 April 2026, between 15:00 and 20:00, bring up to five clean, well-preserved clothing items or fashion accessories to the Great Hall on the first floor of Center Rog. At the PRINESI drop-off point, the items will be reviewed and assigned a value in coupons, which you can use to select other items of equal value.

VALUATION OF CLOTHING AND FASHION ACCESSORIES

1 coupon = shirts, blouses, T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, skirts, trousers, dresses, vests, tracksuits, jackets, blazers, coats, jumpsuits, women’s suits, men’s suits, formal wear, fashion accessories.

5 coupons = shirts, blouses, T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, skirts, trousers, dresses, vests, tracksuits, fashion accessories from established brands.

7 coupons = jackets, blazers, coats, jumpsuits, coats, women’s suits, men’s suits, formal wear from established brands.

With a value of 7 coupons and a completed exchange from the selection, you can participate in a lottery for a selected clothing item or fashion accessory by a Slovenian fashion designer or Slovenian brand. You confirm participation in the lottery at the ODNESI point during the clothing exchange. Winners of designer pieces will be announced at the end of the event. If a winner is not present at the announcement, the selected piece goes to another drawn participant.

Selected clothing items are shown upon departure at the ODNESI drop-off point, where they are exchanged for coupons. Any unused coupons are not carried over to the next clothing swap. All donated items that remain unexchanged after the event remain with the organizer.
