Carousello partners with major corporations to collect gently used clothing from their employees and channel it to resale, donation, and recycling. We operate daily inside a major financial institution's offices at 277 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, running one of the most active corporate clothing collection programs in New York City. We inventory every piece and track it to its end destination using our proprietary software. We resell clothing through all the major marketplaces.
