Courtry Clothing Swap

A small-scale clothing swap in the heart of Courtry

A residential town on the western edge of Seine-et-Marne, bordering Seine-Saint-Denis, Courtry is a peaceful suburban village that has preserved its rural character despite its proximity to the Paris metropolitan area. Every year, the Clothing Swap held at 7 rue de la Mare Madame brings together locals and visitors around a simple and effective concept: giving a second life to garments and accessories forgotten at the back of closets.

Second-hand fashion, a responsible gesture

The clothing swap format appeals to an ever-growing audience, mindful of both savings and responsible consumption. In Courtry, shoppers browse for dresses, jackets, shoes, handbags, costume jewelry, children's clothes, sportswear, and vintage pieces. The low prices make it easy to refresh one's wardrobe on a tight budget while reducing environmental impact. Sustainable fashion applied to the scale of a neighborhood.

Courtry, a green corner of Seine-et-Marne

Located about twenty kilometers east of Paris, Courtry is part of the Marne et Chantereine agglomeration. Between suburban houses, wooded areas, and farmland, the town offers a pleasant setting for a Sunday outing with the family. Visitors can extend their trip with a stroll along the nearby Ourcq canal or head to the Vaires-Torcy forest park, just a few minutes away by car.

A neighborhood event for bargain lovers

While this clothing swap may not rival the great regional flea markets, it perfectly captures the spirit of village gatherings: warm welcome, soft prices, unexpected finds, and spontaneous encounters. It is the ideal chance for Courtry residents and neighbors to clear out their closets while funding small personal projects, and for visitors to leave with a wardrobe treasure uncovered at the best price.
