The Wardrobe Stories Barometer

A living story-map


The Wardrobe Stories Barometer is not a “survey” but a living story-map.
A beautiful participatory campaign: by taking part, you help uncover the hidden lives of garments — the memories they hold, the journeys they have travelled, the care they have received, and the futures they may still have.
Every garment is a small archive of labour, memory, culture, geography, material, trauma, care, repair, and future possibility.
By contributing your wardrobe story, you are not simply answering questions, you are helping to build a richer understanding of circular fashion and supporting a more inclusive and sustainable future for clothing.
Discover, remember, map, and share the stories woven into your wardrobe.


A barometer for measuring…

What people own and value

Garments they keep, repair, swap, inherit, remake

What cities offer

Repairers, tailors, makerspaces, donation points, textile bins, micro-factories

What citizens need

Affordable repair, sewing skills, childcare-friendly training, language support, trusted second-hand options

What makers know

tailoring, embroidery, pattern cutting, mending, local heritage techniques, practical production knowledge

What micro-factories need

Skills, workforce, digital tools, sourcing, waste solutions, visibility, clients.


Every garment carries a memory.
Every repair is resistance.
Every tailor is a keeper of intelligence.
Every micro-factory is a seed of Europe’s circular future.

Add your story, map your city, and help us design the next generation of inclusive fashion training.
