How it works
An unlimited community closet
We’re here to help you say bye to fast fashion and hello to community-powered trading for pieces you’ll love.
1. List
List items you’re in search of (we say ISO for short) and the items you have to trade. Add your items before Tuesday at 12pm PT to have them make it into the weekly swap drop!
2. Browse
Hang out with the community and browse 1,000s+ slow fashion items up for trade all week.
3. Trade
Star items you love. Get a star back and you'll get a match! Then request to trade and enjoy. Once a trade is accepted, you arrange shipping in the chat.
Be a part of a shared story
We believe the more we wear and share our items, the more special they become. Easily re-list items with your stories and memories to continue the shared clothing journey.
What is slow fashion?
Slow fashion advocates for quality garments that will last longer, and values fair treatment of people, animals, and the planet along the way.
The Lucky Sweater and slow fashion moderator team review community-submitted brands each month and add them to the platform if they meet the following key characteristics >
Made from high-quality, sustainable materials
More timeless than trendy
Often sold in smaller stores rather than huge chain enterprises
Locally sourced, produced, and sold garments
Provide a fair, living wage to workers across its supply chain
Size inclusive
Our slow fashion mod team
The slow fashion community discussion (and trading!) spaces are moderated by a group of helpful slow fashion experts and fellow swappers. They review brands, share item advice, and help make Lucky Sweater a welcoming and safe space. Make sure to say hi once you join us!

I’m part of Lucky Sweater because using tech to create community and achieve goals is very inspiring. Trading is such a personal way to build a sustainable wardrobe and extend the journey of our clothes. Founders Carley and Tanya are building the world they want to see and I’m so excited that they asked me to come along for the ride.

My journey into the slow/ethical fashion community started in late 2018, early 2019, when I began joining insta and participating in the community. It was a real eye-opener and I started to think differently about my clothing consumption and who made it. My tops brands are Free Label, Conscious Clothing, Sotela, Only Child, ARQ, Mien Studios, and American Eagle (yes, a "fast fashion" brand).

I grew up going to yard/garage sales and thrift shopping with my mom, mainly hunting for funky shoes, vintage trench coats, and OOAK jewelry pieces. I didn't officially "start" my slow fashion journey until I discovered Elizabeth Suzann in 2019, and I have since learned about so many other incredible brands! Some of my favorites include Ilana Kohn, James Street Co, Aliya Wanek, and Arq. I am a jumpsuit, outerwear, and beanie lover. Send me all your recommendations!
How to submit a brand
On Lucky Sweater, we have a list of approved slow fashion brands you can trade. We know that as the landscape of slow and sustainable fashion makers is constantly evolving, so too should our list of accepted brand evolve. That's why we love having members submit suggested brands!
Come for the clothes, stay for the community. Never have to buy again.
