About this app

Welcome to the community clothing swap in your pocket! Let's turn our closets into communities!

We have 3 trading communities—vintage, slow fashion, and handmade. Join 1 or all communities today!

~WHAT YOU CAN DO ON LUCKY SWEATER:~

ACCESS THOUSANDS OF SLOW FASHION, VINTAGE, AND HANDMADE PIECES (+ SUPPLIES FOR YOUR PROJECTS!) & TRADE FOR YOUR NEXT FAVORITE THING

How it works:

1. List the items you’re in search of (ISO) and the items you want to trade.

2. Check out the 1,000s of items from the community. A new batch of items launches every Tuesday in the swap drop.

3. Save the items you love and match with someone who loves your items back.

4. Request trades and enjoy!

Easily relist traded items and supplies too to continue the stories and memories behind each item. The more we wear and share our items, the more special they become!

~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. According to one of our favorite sites, Good on You, these are some key characteristics that indicate a slow fashion brand:
- 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

Ratings and reviews

This app is...OK if you fall within their VERY particular guidelines and standards. Only 'vintage' and SUPER specific brands are available for trade, which to me sort of defeats the whole purpose of a trading/recycled clothing app. It seems as though they're simply contributing to the problem of making sustainability elitist as hell, which is super not cool. I dunno. Maybe one day they'll get to where they should be, but they're definitely not there yet.

Lucky Sweater is amazing. From the foundational idea to technical implementation, the team behind the app have been friendly, enthusiastic and responsive in all instances where I've had a question or suggestion. The app functions really well and does what it strives to do.

Lucky Sweater is such a unique gem of an app. I love having the ability to swap clothing virtually. THIS IS THE FUTURE I WANTED! It offers an opportunity for specificity in swapping that you can't get at your local clothing swap. And I cannot WAIT to get into vintage swapping!!
