The Wardrobe

We recently had designers from Philadelphia Fashion Incubator visit our Philly Wardrobe — they are SO talented and lovely!! Founded in 2012, PFI has helped launch more than 70 local small fashion businesses (many of them women and minority-owned). They were recently denied critical funding - please read up and share!

Huge thank you to dosage MAGAZINE for highlighting our funding crisis and the very human impact on our 8 current cohort designers! You can find our go fund me link in the article. Please donate if you can, or please share and help us spread awareness. We also welcome any introductions to companies or organizations that may want to sponsor or partner with our non profit.

This week we were excited to welcome volunteers from Philadelphia Fashion Incubator. Not only did they lend a hand in our boutique, but they split into 3 teams and put their styling skills to work on these fantastic mannequins at our Philly Wardrobe.

Like what you see? Items will be available for purchase after October 5.

Philly Fashion Incubator supports emerging designers and fashion entrepreneurs through its year-long Designer-in-Residence program. We thank them for all their help and making our store look fashion forward!

✨ Our latest Open Wardrobe event welcomed more than 200 people across our five locations in a single day!

🛍️ Shoppers picked styles they loved in a safe, inclusive space.
👕 Each person was able to choose from a variety of clothing - plus accessories, shoes, and toiletries to take home.
💼 Volunteers offered resume reviews, helpful community resources, and professional headshot photography.

💜 A huge thank you to our volunteers and donors for making the day possible. These photos are from our Upper Darby and Philadelphia locations!

Thanks WHYY for covering our Open Wardrobe last week! One of our favorite snippets from the piece:

"Meanwhile, King stood out front of the store, holding a brown paper bag overflowing with shoes, dresses, tights and jewelry. Her face, which was tense with anxiety earlier, was noticeably relaxed. Hints of a smile lifted the corners of her mouth as she recounted an employee giving her an extra pair of tights and saying, “This winter, you’ll need them.”

For 31 years, The Wardrobe in NoLibs has changed with the people it serves The Northern Liberties nonprofit has spent 31 years evolving from a source of professional clothing for women to a broader resource for people in need.

Every other month, The Wardrobe hosts a fun evening of drinks and shopping for those interested in learning more about our mission or getting involved. 💜

Our next Sip & Shop is Thursday, October 1 from 4–6 PM at our Kennett Square, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting Mall, and Upper Darby locations. This month features our Fall Designer Pop-Up, light refreshments, 25% off non-sale items, and time to mingle with fellow shoppers and staff. 🛍️✨
