The Designer Swap

Event alert!

The Designer Swap is coming right into your bedrooms / living rooms / palm of your hand on Wednesday, June 26 at 6PM. What does this mean? You will be able to upgrade your wardrobe with 100 hand-picked, high-end pieces that will go live, exclusively on Nuw right in the comfort of your own home!

From Max Mara and Moschino to stunning vintage finds, here are a few things that will be dropping then:

Now we bet you’re asking, ‘how do I get my hands on these gems?!?!’

The answer: gold tokens! Most of these fabulous pieces will be gold-tiered (with a sprinkling of silver), so you want to make sure your virtual pockets are loaded in time for the event. If you don’t have gold tokens - or don’t even know what gold tokens are - worry not! We’re here to help.


What are gold tokens?

If you’re a Renuwer, you’ll most definitely be used to silver tokens. They’re awarded when you upload your day-to-day items and make up most of the collection in our fabulous shared wardrobe. However, you will get a gold token when you upload something a bit more special than the usual items: reserved for the curated collection of mid-market and luxurious fashion listed by the community and Nuw team. 

An item is graded as either gold or silver tier, so for each gold piece you upload you’ll receive a gold token and the same for silver. You can then spend your gold tokens on a new gold tier piece, or silver tokens on any silver tiered pieces.It’s important to us that our members are able to swap pieces that reflect the quality of the pieces they are listing. We base our valuation of each listing on the brand, the current retail value and the durability of the item. 

So… how do you get the coveted gold tokens? We have three options!


Spot the 💌 on your profile to find your referral link

Spot the 💌 on your profile to find your referral link

Invite a friend to join Nuw. 

Super simple! All you need to do is invite someone to join Nuw using your unique referral link, which you can find on your profile on the Nuw app. When they upload their first item in June, you’ll BOTH get a gold token! Be sure to make moves before the end of the month though, this limited time offer expires after June. 


Trade up your silver tokens for gold.

This one involves a few bucks to spare - but the drop will be worth it! Fill in a simple form to trade up your silver tokens for gold. Trade up your silver tokens for a gold here. The more silver tokens you’re happy to trade over, the cheaper it will be - so be sure to upload before Wednesday! We have loads of tips and tricks on how to take stunning photos of your clothes for Nuw. 


Upload a gold item of your own.

Anything luxury, high-end, or top quality vintage could get you a gold token, so go turn your room upside down for that Gucci bag you got ages ago that you’ve forgotten or the designer dress you wore once for that wedding last year. You never know what you might find!

Also… if you’ve gotten this far in reading this blog… here’s a golden star for you 🌟(not a gold token, but hey, you know how to get them now, right?)


Annnnd a lil something extra 👀

Instead of our regularly scheduled Thrifty Thursday programming, this week you’ll find a surprise on Nuw. Turn on your notifications and check back on the app to see what’s going on - and make sure you’ve uploaded in time: we promise it’ll be worth it!
