F#!% Fast Fashion is a clothing exchange hub based in Dalston on a mission to redefine people's relationship with textile waste.

We stock local sustainable designers, giving you inspiration and leading workshops to teach you their craft.

We are a collective with the goal to provide an inclusive and accessible alternative to charity shops. 80-90% of clothes donated to charity shops are sold to countries in the Global South against their will. Fast fashion companies make it hard to find information on a wide scale. As an example, one market in Ghana receives 15 million garments a week, with 40% going directly to landfill (The Or Foundation).

Join the sustainable fashion movement making swapping accessible beyond friends and family, online apps and events. Did you know 6 out of 10 Britons don't know how to sew on a button (British Heart Foundation)? We're here to change that. We opened our shop in Dalston four months ago and 10+ councils have expressed interest in providing us free space. We're coming soon to a high street near you! Follow our journey on our InstagramTiktok or website.
