The Swapaholics
Once upon a time, on the Left Bank of Boston the owner of a popular indie designers market brought together two girls with a mutual, lifelong love affair for vintage and thrift shopping in order to host a clothing swap, and The Swapaholics were born.
Since that fabulously fateful day, Amy Chase from Punky Style and Melissa Massello from Shoestring Magazine have co-hosted dozens of swaps around the country. They love being able to help thousands of men and women stay fashionable yet frugal, and have now decided to take those hopelessly Swapaholic ways online, sharing the joy of swapping with people everywhere!
The Swapaholics are now the official in-person event hostesses for Swap.com, and are national sustainable style and collaborative consumption experts based in Boston, MA. The Swapaholics are dedicated to reviving the age-old clothing swap, spreading the love for secondhand style, and sharing their trendsetting take on budget fashion with modern swappers nationwide.
By fusing each event with a fresh and fashion-forward take on recycled fashion and beauty products, co-founders Melissa and Amy are leading the retail revolution of swapping before shopping, and have been featured in USA Today, FastCompany, US News & World Report, The Boston Globe, The Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, Mass High Tech, BostInnovation, WalletPop/AOL, Racked LA, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and other fine media outlets.
