The past couple of years have been quite a challenge for us! Our small sustainable business used to rely on hosting large-scale events. The pandemic changed the world. And like many other small businesses, it impacted us too. Trying to host events that provide the level & quality of experience we always strive for and you’ve been accustomed to, while following covid safety protocols has been taxing and nearly impossible.
While we were waiting for things to get better, we did go online. Honestly , it just was not as joyful and rewarding to us co-founders. We missed what we love & cherish the most - personal interaction with you guys during our events, while nurturing a sustainable fashion ecosystem!
This situation made us pause, re-think.
We at Exchange Room, after much deliberation and with a heavy heart, have decided to take an indefinite break ♥️
Our journey from 2014 to 2022 has been nothing short of eventful. Being one of the first to have hosted swap events in India, to meeting each of you, building friendships, having saved about 15000 or more pieces of clothing from landfills, having hosted 20+ events and 20+ online drops, to having so many newspapers & magazines talking about us, our hearts are so FULL.
We are so happy to see the evolution of sustainable fashion in India. We are ever grateful to our wonderful and amazing community for all the love and support you have shown us over the years. You’ve made our journey so special and we value each one of you! :)
We will be hosting two final offline events this year and have 2-3 online drops coming up on the shop page too. We encourage all of you to utilize your points OR gift your points and take home some pre-loved goodies to cherish and relove !
Sustainable fashion and Exchange Room has been a passion for us cofounders and will always remain so. Who knows, we may restart it one day ;) But for the time being, its time to move on to our other passions, holding in our hearts this beautiful space we have created.
We wish each and every one of you the very best and all our
love !
Prithvi, Sai Sangeet and Sangeetha
