Other Considerations
- The typical age range of our clients is 18-24-year-old college students who are seeking
attire for interviews, internships, class presentations, and other business casual/formal
events.
- Be mindful of allergies clients may have and ensure clothes exposed to common allergens
(e.g. pet dander, smoke, etc.) are well cleaned and odor free.
- Clients utilize our service often for financial reasons. While clothing that requires
dry cleaning after every wear may be professional, it can be inaccessible for our
clients due to upkeep costs.
- If you would not wear it because of its condition, do not donate it to someone else
who needs to make a good first impression when interviewing for a job.
