Wardrobe Donations
Empower Women Through the Clothes in Your Closet
Do you have clothes that are barely worn or may even have tags hanging? Uncommon Threads is the perfect place to feel good about parting ways with your new or “like new” clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. It will feel great to know that your clothes will be loved and appreciated by another woman.

Designer Donations for Uncommon Closet
What about that Michael Kors handbag or Tiffany bracelet you’re ready to part with? These valuable pieces can generate badly needed funding for Uncommon Threads!
Uncommon Closet is a social enterprise that sells new and nearly new designer labels such as Prada, Coach, Kate Spade, Eileen Fisher, DVF, St. John, Tory Burch, and much more! All proceeds go to support Uncommon Threads services and programs.
Through our Lawrence store Uncommon Closet and online shop, the revenue generated from your donations allows us to provide services that strengthen and empower low-income women.
