CLOTHING LIBRARY: Cultivate the Culture of Re-Use

Libraries with a Twist

Curated + Catalogued Collections

...more than just books.

Libraries are a mainstay for many communities.  They’re convenient, cost nothing, have quality items and are community-focused.

Imagine if this proven model was replicated – with all its benefits - but was...

...more than just books.

Curated + Catalogued Collections

...more than just books.

Your local library can be stocked with secondhand 'looks' too!  

Like a traditional library, the collections are vast and varied. And with your free membership card, you can borrow at no cost for 2 weeks!

Housed within traditional libraries, the Clothing Library makes it easy and convenient to borrow not buy .  It's about access, not ownership! By doing so, we all can help extend the life of clothing to keep them out of landfills.

Extending the life of clothes by an extra nine months of active use would reduce carbon, water, and waste footprints by around 20–30% each.

What kind of clothing can I find at the Clothing Library?

The Clothing Library focuses on occasion wear - dressy, professional or seasonal garments. Think a fancy party dress or wedding suit; an interview outfit or attire for professional pictures;  or a ski jacket or beach cover up for the handful of times you'll need them.  Don't buy something to use just once a year or for a single season! You can now can easily borrow clothing instead of buying.


Our goal is to provide clothing for all genders and sizes. Adults, Teens, and Children.
