Dublin’s vintage and sustainable fashion scene is set for another major event this November as ClothesCycle returns to the city following a sold-out spring event.
Landing at the RDS on Sunday, November 1st, ClothesCycle is coming back bigger than before, taking over two halls and increasing capacity by 50%. The previous Dublin event sold out three weeks in advance, with the latest event expected to attract thousands of shoppers looking for everything from vintage bargains to rare luxury finds.
Following sold-out events in Dublin, Belfast and Cork, ClothesCycle has quickly become one of Europe’s fastest-growing sustainable fashion events, regularly attracting more than 3,000 shoppers.
The one-day festival will bring together more than 100 vintage and independent sellers, with thousands of shoppers able to browse more than 35,000 square feet of second-hand fashion.
There’ll be something for every taste and budget, whether you’re looking to spend €10 on a handful of great finds or splash out on a rare luxury archive piece. Shoppers can hunt through luxury pre-loved wardrobes, browse thousands of curated vintage rails or dig through bargain buckets for those unexpected gems.
But ClothesCycle is designed to be much more than a traditional market. It’s a full-day thrifting festival, with plenty happening alongside the shopping.
Visitors can expect DJs and live music throughout the day, street food, a fully stocked bar, chill-out areas and outdoor seating. There’ll also be a free alteration station, along with pop-ups offering permanent jewellery, tooth gems and tattoos.
One of the highlights will be the free, all-day clothes swap. Visitors can bring up to five items of their own and swap them for something new to them, giving unwanted pieces a second life while discovering something different for their wardrobe.
There’ll also be fun giveaways and plenty of freebies throughout the day, adding to the festival atmosphere.
Founder Poppy Collingwood-Cameron said:
“It’s been amazing to see how much Clothes Cycle has grown, and Ireland has been such a big part of that. Our last Dublin event sold out three weeks in advance, so we knew we had to come back bigger. We’re really looking forward to bringing even more sellers, more space and even more of the Clothes Cycle experience to Dublin this November.”
Since launching in 2022, ClothesCycle has grown into a nationwide series of events across the UK and Ireland, bringing together thousands of shoppers and independent sellers and making second-hand shopping feel more exciting, accessible and social.
With more sellers, more space and thousands of vintage pieces to browse, the November event looks set to be another major date in Dublin’s sustainable fashion calendar.
