Sellers can offer high-quality fashion items, including clothing, accessories, handbags, and shoes. All items must be in excellent condition: if you'd let your best friend wear it, then it belongs at Style Swap.

Please clearly label the price tags of your items based on their quality:
• Brand New With Tags (BNWT)
• Like New (LN)
• Gently Used (GU)
• Well Worn (WW)

You can apply for your boutique space at the next event by clicking Apply Now. It is recommended that you get your application in early as spaces are limited and tend to fill up quickly.

You will receive an email within 24 hours notifying you that we have received your application. You will then receive another email within 5 days notifying you of the outcome of your application. If successful, the email will include:

• Confirmation of Acceptance: A clear statement that your application has been approved and the T&Cs.
• Payment Link: A button or link that will direct you to a secure payment portal where you can pay your boutique space fee.
• Further Instructions: Any additional information you may need, such as event details, setup times, or specific requirements.

Please make sure to check your inbox regularly, including your spam or junk folder, for this important email.

Sellers must purchase a boutique space for a non-refundable fee of $199. With the purchase of a space, you will receive our Boutique Kit.

The Boutique Kit includes one rack with 60 non-slip hangers, one table, and one chair. Additional racks, hangers and chairs can be rented for a small fee. No additional fees are taken from sales, which means more money in your pockets.

Ensure your items are clean, well-organised, and attractively displayed. Consider decorations, signage, anything to make your boutique space appealing to buyers.

While the Boutique Kit does provide you with almost everything you will need to run a successful space, you will need to use your own price tags.

Be sure to include your boutique space number on each price tag, which will be provided to successful applicants, as well as the quality code i.e.:

BNWT - Brand New With Tags
LN - Like New
GU - Gently Used
WW - Well Worn

Pricing is at the discretion of the seller. However, we recommend researching similar items to ensure your prices are competitive while still reflecting the quality and brand.

The following is only a rough guide:
• Brand New With Tags: 50-70% of the purchase price.
• Like New: 50% of the purchase price.
• Gently Used: 30-40% of the purchase price.
• Well Worn: 10-20% of purchase price.

Yes, sellers are expected to be present throughout the entirety of the event to manage their boutique spaces, interact with buyers, and finalise sales.

We are happy for you to recommend a friend or family member to host your boutique space if you are unable to attend the event.

Sellers are responsible for handling their own transactions. We recommend having both cash and digital payment options available. While we tell buyers that cash is king, having the digital option could be beneficial.

The following are some useful links to different platforms for digital payments:

While we love luxury brands, we also appreciate that authenticity is important. At this time, we do not have the means to authenticate these items, so please leave these pieces at home.

Each event will be different, and that information will be provided in your confirmation email. But generally, you can begin setting up two hours before the event starts. You should have everything cleared within one hour of the event ending.
