If you’re looking to retire a pair of jeans, consider participating in the upcoming benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters being hosted by Nolita:

Beginning May 1st, customers can bring in their previously loved denim jeans to Nolita and we will give them 20% off a new pair. All previously loved jeans will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters - in turn they will be given new life on the buns of youngsters in the BBBS program. The last day to swap is May 14. (People can donate as much denim as they want, but one pair donated equals one pair at 20% off, up to 3 pairs per customer. Donated denim must be in good wearable condition. The offer applies to full-price denim only.) Big Brothers Big Sisters would love more volunteers. So, we’re throwing a Denim Swap launch party on May 1st (First Thursday) from 6-8pm to help them outreach to this area of town. BBBS will be here to answer any questions about the program, and Nolita will be busy ‘swapping denim’ throughout the evening. Of course, requisite food & beverages will be here to stave off hunger from trying on too many pairs of jeans.
