Just One Thing (JOT) on Slow Fashion & Natural Beauty

  • The Business Hive 120 Thames Street Oamaru, Otago, 9400 New Zealand (map)

For the clothes swap:

Good quality (we mean if YOU wouldn’t buy it, don’t bring it) clean clothing can be dropped off in person to Zara or Tanya at The Business Hive - between 8:30am and 5:pm, Monday Sep 1 to Fri Sept 5.

Building on last year’s success, Just One Thing (JOT) is hosting another slow fashion event, this time with natural beauty products included!

Just One Thing launched in July 2023 with a focus on tackling sustainability in manageable sections by doing ““just one thing” instead of feeling overwhelmed by the challenge.

So in the spirit of reducing overload as well as landfill - they want you to come to and experience the joys of slow fashion (as opposed to fast fashion).

Slow fashion is all about reselling, repurposing or repairing quality clothing - you could call it Op shop love for the planet.

At this year’s event they’ll be hosting a clothes swap, second-hand as well as vintage clothing sale alongside demonstrations of repairing and repurposing - plus natural soaps and balms making.

The event is free with a koha for the clothes swap and of course donations are always welcome.
