Swapping of women’s business attire in Auckland gains popularity
In times of financial crisis, everyone is finding ways to save on expenses – especially on clothes. However, it would also be nice to have a new set of clothing from time to time without breaking the budget. This idea prompted a group of friends to venture into “shwopping” business.
Sarah Hopkins and friends Christine McGonigal and Inga Boyd has set up “Big Shwop” in the New Zealand capital of Auckland and women can easily swap clothes ranking from women’s business attire to casual wear.
Boyd revealed that they weren’t expecting the overwhelming response from the public during the initial stages of their operation. She added that when the opened shop, more than 150 people lined up to swap their women’s business attire.
Nearly two years later, these businesswomen have decided that it is time to expand their market and are considering other cities to set up shop.
