What are the costs associated with selling at Style Swap?

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.
How do I prepare my boutique space for the event?
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
How should I price my items?
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.
Do I need to be present at my boutique space for the entirety of the event?
Yes, sellers are expected to be present throughout the entirety of the event to manage their boutique spaces, interact with buyers, and finalise sales.
What if I can't attend the event?
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.
How do I handle payments from buyers?
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:
Can I sell luxury items?
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.
What time can I set up and how long do I have to pack up at the end of the event?
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.
