Borrow, lend and swap in Lisbon
Shared Wardrobes is Lisbon's open closet. Borrow, lend and swap outfits with people near you, in the app or in person at our swap events. Every piece arrives with a story, and leaves with a new one.
What it is
Most of us wear a fraction of what we own. Shared Wardrobes opens those closets to each other, so a dress that sat unworn for a year can go dancing again. No guilt, no lectures, no shopping. Just neighbours passing good clothes around and meeting over coffee to do it.
Find a piece in someone's closet nearby, borrow for a week or two, and hand it back after. A deposit is held, never charged, unless something goes wrong.
Put the pieces you love but rarely wear into your open closet. You keep them, but lend them out eventually. They get out more, and you earn Wardrobe Tokens each time.
Offer one of yours for one of theirs. Both sides confirm, you meet for a coffee or quick handover, and two wardrobes get a refresh for nothing.
Now live in Lisbon
The app is open. Browse real closets in your neighbourhood, ask to borrow, propose a swap and arrange a handover, all in one place.

In person
Once a month we clear a room in Lisbon, hang up everything people brought, and let the room do the rest. Bring pieces you no longer wear, leave with things you will.
We meet at Selva Café in Alcântara. Dates and RSVP live in the app.
Clean, in good condition, and genuinely ready for someone else. Quality over quantity.
We look at what you brought and add Wardrobe Tokens to your app balance. Spend them at the event or save them for later.
Everything hangs on shared rails. Take your time, ask people about their pieces, try things.
Spend your tokens on whatever you love. No direct trading needed, so nobody leaves empty handed.
Tokens carry over. Anything you do not spend stays in your app balance for next time.
Everyone is welcome. All sizes, all styles. Come alone or bring a friend.
One token system. Event tokens and app tokens are the same, so what you earn at a swap works everywhere.
Support us
We are a small team, and we would love your support. However much time, money or clothes you can give, it all helps us run the app, organise events and welcome more people into the wardrobe.
Set up the rails, run the check-in desk, welcome people at the door and help them find their size. A few hours, once a month.
Test new features before they go live, hunt for bugs, tell us where the app is confusing. Flexible and remote.
Film reels at events, take photos, write captions, sit down with members and ask them where a piece has been.
Collaborations
We are open to different kinds of collaborations, not only swap events. Co-hosting clothes events, app integrations, community projects, or any other idea that gets people sharing wardrobes. If you are building something in the same direction, let us talk.
Open yours, borrow theirs, and see where the clothes take you. Start in the app today, or come and find us at the next swap event in Lisbon.
