Alumna-Business Owner Reaches Clothing Swap Milestone

Suzanne Agasi '93, founder of Clothing Swap, was raised on hand-me-downs and felt forever fashionable.  She built her business to share the idea that anyone can look like a million bucks with creativity and style.  This month, Suzanne hosted her 100th Clothing Swap.  She has organized swaps in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City for more than a decade.

The events are for women only, and women of ages, styles and sizes are encouraged to attend.  She asks attendees to bring clean, gently worn or new items.  Once the swap begins, attendees try on clothes and take home what they like.  All unclaimed items are donated to the local women's shelter/clothing bank the next day.

WOMEN CAN PICK OUT FREE CLOTHES AT BENEFIT:

One woman's outdated or outgrown garment is another woman's apparel treasure.  That's part of the premise of the Diva Eve Clothing Swap, a woman-only charity extravaganza coming to the Pear Street Bistro in Pinole on Tuesday.  "Great food, goodie bags free clothes-it's everything women want under one roof," said event founder Suzanne Agasi who uses the slogan "fashion, fun and philanthropy."

Need a new fancy frock? Don't think you need to spend big bucks at a high-end boutique.  Instead, get your gal pals together for a "clothes swap" soiree.  It's the hottest fashion trend since oversize sunglasses-straight from Manhattan to the East Bay burbs.  At a swap, guests bring designer duds and accessories they've grown tired of to trade with friends.
