Rad fatties taking over the world one clothes swap at a time, Brisbane style!
Chub Republic Brisbane
Spoils of clothing swap, one. The ugliest effing sweater.
I’m so glad you nabbed that sweater. Because if you didn’t, I would have had to. And I really don’t need the world’s ugliest effing sweater.
I am so excited about today. I hope to get some pics to share with y’all later.

What are you bringing to the fab fatty clothing swap?
Just over a week until the first Chub Republic Brisbane plus-size clothing swap!
I’ve been sorting through mine and I have clothes from size 18 - 28, some new with the tags still on, from brands like:
- Asos Curve
- Torrid
- Lane Bryant
- Evans Clothing
- Autograph Fashion
- Yours Clothing
Not to mention some fab indie/one off stuff I’ve picked up on eBay.
So remember:
Saturday 10th March
12pm - 3pm
Graduate Centre Function Room, QCA Griffith University, 226 Grey St, South Bank.
The more fab fatties who come along and the more clothes you bring to swap, the more you have access to. Spread the word!
Please RSVP to the Facebook Event (share it with your friends too) or email chubrepublicbris@gmail.com
Chub Republican Kath!
We are so excited to be hosting the inaugural Chub Republic Brisbane Clothing Swap! This is a fantastic opportunity to get rid of all those clothes that hang in the back of your wardrobe that are too small, too big, or just not your style anymore, and replace them for a fraction of the cost of buying new stuff.
The space is explicitly body-positive - we want everybody to feel comfortable, which means that we ask you not talk negatively about your body or anybody else’s.
Guidelines:
Bring clothes that still have plenty of wear left in them! Think new with or without tags, or gently worn.
Sizes 14 + and up!
How it works:
When you arrive, drop a gold coin in the donation jar, and advise the person at the desk how many items you have.They will give you an equal number of tokens for you to ‘spend’. Hand your clothes over, and we will ensure that each garment goes to the correct size location. It would be super helpful if you could let us know when you arrive roughly what size range your garments are.
Browse, assess, try things on, and above all, enjoy yourself! Once you’re done, head over to the exit and exchange your tokens to ‘pay’ for your new clothes.
Thanks to the kindness and community of the original Chub Republic hailing from Melbourne, we are now launching a Brisbane Chapter of Chub Republic, to promote local fab fatty events.
We are already in the throes of organising a fab fatty clothing swap, for the 10th of March, 12pm - 3pm, at the Graduate Centre Function Room (Queensland College of Art [QCA] Griffith Uni, 226 Grey St, South Bank). Start sorting your wardrobes now!
Watch this space for more info on this first event and hopefully many more!
