NB:This event has been cancelled

The recession has hit shopaholics hard and that glorious new season designer item may seem less attainable than ever before. But don’t stress, panic or make a bee-line for your nearest K-Mart because Duertz have come up with a creative, environmentally kind and cost effective way to update your look with designer threads.

Duetz Swap My Style is a famous national shopping event where designer goods are currency and pampering is the pass time. The event has been featured in glossies around Australia and now its Canberra’s turn (finally!)

On arrival you’ll give-up five designer duds that you no longer wear at the ‘swap check in,’ grab your tokens and a glass of crisp bubbling Deutz Marlborough before strutting into pre-loved designer heaven.

This is no Vinnies, all wears MUST be in near new condition and worth more than $100 a piece at the time of purchase, so save the Jeans West for the goodwill bin.

Visit the VIP Pamper Lounge for a free makeover, mini manicure, and facial or have your hair styled before you meet the guest style experts and celebrities.

In addition to all the swapping, you have the option to spend some real cash in the exclusive discounted designer store.

Even more exciting, Canberrans can enjoy an extensive range of designer goods, in all sizes, from our fashion forward Sydney swapper friends! Which means hard to find luxury labels and styles will come in racks.

At 10:30pm its time to leave with some bubbles in your stomach, your pick of designer goods and a new lease on shopping.

A ticket to the event will cost you $40 online, or $50 at the door, with pampering, a style expert session and swapping included.

If there is one fashion investment you make this season, this is it!
