Would you swap outgrown toys with other families instead of buying new ones?
Celebrities Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews have launched Swipez, a free app that lets families swap toys their children have outgrown. Users photograph toys and swipe right on those they like, and mutual matches arrange meetups to trade.
Why it matters
Families with young children face constant toy turnover, and a swap-based app offers a way to refresh a playroom without new spending. The founders say their own children still want new toys every week, which is the household pressure the app is built around.
Swipez is a free app launched by Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews, who have four children, the youngest a newborn named Remy Valentine. The platform works by photographing toys and matching families through mutual swipes.
The players
Vogue Williams
Irish television presenter and entrepreneur, now co-founder of the family-focused Swipez toy-swap app.
Spencer Matthews
British television personality and entrepreneur, co-founder of Swipez alongside his wife Vogue Williams.
The details
Users photograph toys in seconds through the app and swipe right on items they want. When two families both swipe right on each other's toys, the app creates a match, and those families arrange a meetup to exchange the toys. The model is built around quick listing and direct, family-to-family trades rather than selling or shipping.
Timeline
Last year: the family bought a €2.8 million coastal home in Howth and sold a four-bedroom Battersea duplex.
Two months before the launch: Vogue Williams gave birth to their fourth child, Remy Valentine.

November 7, 2026: the Swipez launch was announced on Instagram.
The Home Front
Swipez applies the mutual-swipe matching model, familiar from dating apps, to children's toy exchange between households. It sits in the secondhand and peer-to-peer resale space, where families seek to reduce clutter and recurring toy spending.
If your children have outgrown toys, a swap-based app can free up playroom space without adding to your spending. Before handing over toys, check their condition and safety, and arrange meetups in a public place you trust.
The takeaway
Swapping outgrown toys can keep a playroom manageable and cut recurring purchases, especially as families grow. Before trading, inspect each toy for wear and missing parts so both families get something usable.
