About Us
Imagine opening your wardrobe and choosing from thousands and thousands of outfits.
Welcome to Bigwardrobe.com, the world’s No.1 fashion recycling website!
People don’t wear 25% of the items in their wardrobes. So, we created Bigwardrobe.com, the home to literally tonnes
(over 70 actually!) of pre-loved garments and accessories, all in need of a new place to live.
You can use Bigwardrobe.com to swap things you don't wear for things you will; turn your unwanted clothes, shoes and
bags back into cash; or to buy yourself a new outfit at a bargain price.
Bigwardrobe.com houses a vast mix of labels (from Gucci, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs to Miss Sixty and Topshop).
Plus, with nearly 30,000 members (or 30,000 wardrobes to plunder!) and the ability to swap or sell items, the net result is
that you end up with lots of new-to-you clothes, or extra money in your pocket.
Bigwardrobe.com has members in over 100 countries and our community is growing. In just 18 months, more than
130,000 items have been recycled. The most popular categories are women’s dresses, bags and shoes. However, you’ll
also find a very popular area for children’s clothing and menswear too.
We’ve also just added a new ‘bottom draw’ area for anything else recyclable that may be lurking unloved in your wardrobe
(or under the bed) inc: books, DVD’s, toys, iPods, mobile phones, cameras, CD’s etc. Take a look!
The ultimate aim of Bigwardrobe.com is to create the world's biggest online wardrobe, where the huge quantity of unworn
and stockpiled fashion in people's wardrobes around the world is redistributed online. Obviously, this can put money back
in people’s pockets, which is very topical right now.
However, there’s also a HUGE environmental benefit. This is because millions of tonnes of discarded clothing goes to
landfill sites around the world every year. For example, in the UK alone (the home of Bigwardrobe HQ), the figure is
2m tonnes, which represents nearly 4% of all the waste in Britain that is sent to landfill annually. This scenario is repeated
across the planet. So, by recycling your unwanted clothes (and other items), you can help safeguard the environment!
We hope you enjoy the site.
