About

Who we are

At SWOP SIS, we are a community-driven platform committed to promoting sustainable fashion and empowering women. Our mission is to create a circular fashion economy that reduces waste while providing women with access to culturally appropriate, professional clothing. We believe that fashion should not only be sustainable but also empowering, helping women feel confident and express themselves fully.

Founded to address the unique needs of women from marginalised backgrounds, SWOP SIS offers an innovative digital wardrobe platform where women can swap and lend clothing within a trusted community. Our approach fosters a sense of belonging while promoting eco-consciousness, allowing women to refresh their wardrobes without financial strain or environmental harm.

Our Purpose

We are committed to creating a circular fashion economy by:

  • Reducing textile waste: Our platform encourages the reuse of clothing, extending the lifecycle of each garment and reducing the environmental impact of fashion.
  • Empowering women: SWOP SIS provides women, especially those from marginalised backgrounds, with access to stylish, professional clothing at no cost, promoting confidence and self-expression.
  • Building community: By participating in a community-based fashion exchange, women can form connections, share resources, and promote eco-conscious living.

SWOP SISTERS WORDS

What they are saying about us

I wore an all pink dress, wore heels for the first time, and had a complete makeover. It was a wild experience and I don't think I would have dared to put myself through something that’s so out of my comfort zone if it was led by anyone else. This is exactly why representation matters!.

Sowmiya

Dress to Impress initiative has provided me with confidence in things that I would not wear otherwise as a STEM professional. While picking clothes for myself, the sustainable aspect is one of the most important things that I look for. Dress to impress helped me understand the need for a circular fashion economy and provided me with eco-friendly and alternatives to the fast-fashion industry, such as swapping for clothes, thrifting etc.

To me, its all about feeling comfortable in your own skin while experimenting with different styles and feeling your best at workplace. As a petite woman, I wasn’t always very happy with the way I looked but this made me feel confident & comfortable with my own body type. It made me realise that you don’t need to have a certain body type to wear certain kinds of clothes. I’m extremely grateful to Ruwangi & Belle for this incredible initiative. I had such a great time participating in it. Thank you very much!.

Radhika

As a woman of colour, being a part of this has been a blessing in a disguise for me to get close view on work fashion sustainability, breaking norms and building confidence through a shared wardrobe. When it comes to shopping for office look my mind goes through extreme stress. Some random thoughts constantly appearing are “is this colour too much?" , “is this appropriate?”, “will this help me to blend in with the group?”, “Why is this so expensive?” etc. SWOPSIS opened my mind and took me into the world of sustainable wardrobe and fashion lifestyle. Also I do feel a lot confident now to wear any work outfit and colour I want to without any regrets.

Avika

As a woman in STEM, facing cultural barriers and challenges have been an ongoing battle. I have felt judged because of how I look and speak and this has affected my life goals in many ways. SWOPSIS is a one of its kind initiatives that has helped me view myself in a different light. Rather than being harsh and cruel to myself, this initiative has taught me how to accept myself in its true shape and colour. The constant battle of fitting in was addressed by this initiative that has changed fashion conceptions. No, you don't need expensive clothes to look good, you can look great with basics!.
