the Philly closet

Found fashion, not fast fashion. The Philly Closet is a curated boutique filled with nostalgia and funky pieces that have a lot of life left to cherish. I hunt for quality fabrics, superior craftsmanship, and rare details, and then rescue them. I am meticulous, so each item is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized; ready for the next person to love. I restore fabrics, suede and leather, and make sure each piece is as wearable as possible. Philadelphia is a city rich in fashion and textile history. Many of the pieces I offer are from the Philadelphia area, originating from small, independent boutiques and department stores like John Wanamaker & Co, Gimbels, and Lit Bros. Others are from luxury department stores, local to the Philly area. There are so many vintage treasures waiting to be rescued. It’s my mission.
