Give your outfits a second life.

Almari is where the South Asian community in the US buys and sells occasion and everyday wear, so the outfits in our closets get worn again.

Our Story

In Hindi and Urdu, the wardrobe at home is called an almari. Most of ours are full. The lehenga from a cousin's wedding. The sherwani worn to one mehndi. The saree an aunt brought back from Lahore or Delhi that still hasn't left its plastic.

These clothes were made to be worn more than once, and in our families they always were. Borrowed for a shaadi, handed down to a younger cousin, altered in time for the next Eid. Living here in the US, that chain breaks. Cousins live in different cities. The outfit that would be perfect for someone sits in a closet in New Jersey while she's searching for one in Texas.

The reselling that does happen mostly runs through WhatsApp groups and Facebook posts. It works, until something goes wrong and there's nobody to help.

We started Almari to bring that chain back, for the whole community, with the care it deserves.

How It Works

Every outfit that gets worn again is one less that has to be made. Almari keeps them moving from one celebration to the next, between people who know what they're worth.

  1. List What's in Your Almari

    Take a few photos and add the size and the occasion. Someone on our team checks every listing before it goes live.

  2. Someone Finds It for Their Next Occasion

    Shop by occasion, size and designer. Make an offer, or ask the seller a question in the comments.

  3. It Moves On to Its Next Celebration

    Pay safely in the app and the seller ships it out. If it doesn't arrive or isn't as described, you get a full refund.
