The Closet Project is an initiative launched by the Bruin Store team to bring affordable professional attire to students. All of our inventory has been donated by other students, faculty, staff, parents and community members, all of who want to help you be adequately prepared for upcoming interviews and internships.
Every single item is sold for $1 (except for our two-for-$1 sale this week), and every single dollar goes directly to the Bruin Community Pantry to combat food insecurity. Purchasing from the Closet Project is a great way to build your professional wardrobe and give back at the same time.
At this time, all purchases from the Closet Project are cash only.
