More life in
what we have.
Give care and repair a place alongside the excitement of finding something new to wear.
The mission behind the movement
We don't have a clothing shortage,
we have a clothing system problem.
The wardrobe is already here. The Closetorium exists to find a home for clothes and help people see a different way to enjoy them. Take what you need, use it as long as you want, and share it again when you're ready.
We're changing more than our wardrobes. We want a fashion system that values the people who make our clothes, the resources that go into them, and the communities that keep them in use.
OUR MISSION
A shared wardrobe.
A different possibility.
Every second, a truckload's worth of clothing is burned or buried in landfill. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's estimate shows why circular fashion matters: clothes need more wearers, more care, and more life.
A shared wardrobe keeps pieces circulating instead of asking us to buy something different every time we want a fresh look. Join as a member, volunteer your time, or give to help keep the movement growing.

Beyond the donation bin
A donation is
the beginning.
Thrifting gives existing clothing another chance. A shared wardrobe takes that idea further: a piece can circulate again and again, instead of needing a new owner every time someone wants a change.
Donating something doesn't guarantee it will be worn again. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation describes a system in which a truckload of textiles is landfilled or burned every second. We want to help change what happens next.

The people behind every piece
Keep the craft alive.
Let skill shine.
Behind a repaired zipper, a beautiful alteration, or an upcycled piece is a person with a skill worth valuing. We want mending and making to have a place in fashion's future.
Our vision is for fashion libraries to create room for seamstresses and tailors to mend, reimagine, and share their work. One carefully made piece could be enjoyed by many people.
More life in
Clothing with
another chapter.
Make space for upcycling, individual expression, and the people who bring those ideas to life.
Buy with care.
Choose to last.
When everyday clothing needs are met through sharing, we can be more thoughtful about what we choose to own.
Here now. Looking ahead.
One wardrobe today.
A movement taking shape.
Today, our community wardrobe is in Asheville. We also give free clothing to places in need and have excess inventory available to help people starting fashion libraries in their own communities.
Our future vision is a connected network of locally curated wardrobes. Imagine finding climate-appropriate clothing when you travel, while local makers care for the pieces each community shares.
This network is a vision we are building toward. Current membership access is at the Asheville location.
