MINI MARKET ERASMUSPARK
WHAT TO EXPECT
1. COMMUNTY SWAP POINT
A tiny curated community swap point. Don't expect hundreds of items, but rather a small, carefully curated selection.
How it works:
-
Browse the clothing racks first
-
Found something you like that’s roughly the same value as your own item?
-
Show the crew your item (something beautiful you’d proudly pass on to a friend)
-
If approved, you can swap immediately
Please note:
-
Max 1 item per person
-
We’re keeping the rail small and highly curated
-
No damaged items or ultra fast-fashion please
If you don’t find anything, simply keep your item and come back later to check the constantly changing collection again. You may also trade it in for a discount on the Holy Drop collection.
2. HOLY DROP
Alongside the community swap point, we’re bringing a tiny curated Holy Drop collection: premium second-hand gems with fixed prices.
Think:
Beautiful vintage, strong denim, special pieces, and handpicked favorites from the Holy Swap! archive.
Prices:
€ 15 - € 50
Trading in something exceptional?
If you trade in an exceptional item, you get €25 discount on the Holy Drop collection.
Meaning: some Holy Drop pieces can literally be swapped.
3. SMALL, EXPERIMENTAL & COMMUNITY-DRIVEN
This is not a full Holy Swap! event like before.
Think of it more as:
-
A tiny experiment
-
A soft relaunch
-
A small circular fashion playground
-
And a moment to reconnect around local reuse again
Expect:
-
Music
-
Sunshine hopefully
-
Good people
-
Beautiful pieces
-
And an alternative way of consuming that demonstrates that fulfillment, enjoyment, status, and connection are possible even without the constant production of new goods.
''I'm opening the door a little again. Step by step. Not easy, because to me it feels like heaven's door.''
PERSONAL NOTE
Almost two years ago I decided to put Holy Swap! on hold. Not because I stopped believing in it, but because somewhere along the way I lost connection with myself a little.
I had spent a couple years building, pushing and trying to make things work. And although Holy Swap! was growing externally, internally I slowly started disconnecting from myself.
So I pressed pause. To slow down, to reflect and reconnect with what actually matters to me. And strangely enough, during that pause I slowly started realizing that Holy Swap! might actually contain a lot of what I had been searching for all along. And that I might be the right person to make this work.
About three years ago I rewrote our mission: stop craving more and new, look closer, and celebrate life with what’s already there. I always saw that as something about consumption.
But maybe it also applies to life itself.
So this Sunday is not really about relaunching. It’s more about opening the door a little again. Feeling whether the energy is still there. In the community, but also in myself.
During Terrasmus Festival in Erasmuspark Amsterdam we’re doing a tiny experimental Holy Swap! setup.
Not a full event like before. Just something small, curated and community-driven.
Would love to see some familiar faces again.
Love,
Danny
I’ll be sharing more about my personal development and Holy Swap’s on LinkedIn in the coming weeks.
