Fashion and Sustainability:

  • People may think fashion and sustainability can’t go hand in hand, but we want to prove it can.

    Our purpose for doing a Clothing Exchange is to give new life to unwanted pieces. We ask our guests to bring a few unwanted (but like-new) clothes, to demonstrate how easy it is to repurpose or bring life in someone else’s closet – instead of throwing them away.

  • Guest are asked to bring up to 5 pieces in great shape or like new, to be placed at a designated rack for the clothing exchange. Closet Series will donate the unwanted pieces that are left to a local non-profit organization that is women lead or supports women in need.
