Garde-Robe basics
What is Garde-Robe?
A free social shopping app and digital closet for shopping with your friends. It builds your closet from your order emails, shows you what your friends bought and saved, keeps everything you want from any store in one place, watches those prices, and helps you resell what you don't wear in one tap!
Is it Garde-Robe, Garde Robe or Garderobe?
It's Garde-Robe, with a hyphen: French for wardrobe. Plenty of people type it as Garde Robe or Garderobe, and it's the same app: Garde-Robe on the App Store, on the web and in Chrome and Safari.
What is Garde-Robe's mission?
Friends are the new influencers. Online shopping is convenient but lonely; Garde-Robe brings back shopping with your friends, so you discover what people you actually know bought and loved, not what someone was paid to post.
How does it work?
Create a free account in the iOS app or on the web. Connect Gmail and your closet fills itself from your order emails. Follow your friends to see what they bought and saved, save anything you want from any store into wishlists, and Garde-Robe tells you when a saved item drops in price.
How is Garde-Robe different from other closet apps?
Most closet and digital wardrobe apps are private: you photograph or add every item yourself, then style it alone. Garde-Robe fills your closet from your order emails and makes it social, so you see what your friends actually bought, save from any store into shared wishlists, get price drop alerts and resell on Poshmark.
Who makes Garde-Robe?
Garde-Robe Inc., a company based in New York. Garde-Robe is free on iPhone, on the web and in Chrome and Safari.
Is Garde-Robe free?
Yes. Creating an account is free, in the app or on the web.
Is there an Android app?
Coming Soon. In the meantime, you can use Garde-Robe on your desktop.
Getting started
How do I create an account?
Download Garde-Robe from the App Store on your iPhone, or sign up on the web at web.garde-robe.com. Both are free.
How do the Garde-Robe desktop extensions work?
Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store, or from the Mac App Store for Safari, and pin Garde-Robe to your browser's toolbar. On any product page, click the Garde-Robe button to save the item to a wishlist or your closet, with its photo, price and link. No more screenshots.
How do I save something I see online?
On your phone, tap Share on any product page and choose Garde-Robe. On your computer, click the Garde-Robe button in Chrome or Safari with our desktop extensions. Either way it lands in a wishlist with its price and link.
Which stores does Garde-Robe work with?
Any online store. Save from any product page with the iPhone share button or the Chrome and Safari extensions; members have saved items from more than 10,000 brands.
How do I add friends on Garde-Robe?
In the app, tap the friends icon at the top of your feed and sync your contacts to see who is already on Garde-Robe, or search for a friend by username. From the same screen you can text an invite to friends who are not on Garde-Robe yet.
Digital closet & Gmail
How does Gmail sync work?
Connect your Gmail account and Garde-Robe reads your purchase confirmation emails from supported stores, then adds each item to your closet with its photo, brand, size and price. New orders keep arriving on their own.
Is it safe to connect Gmail?
Yes. Garde-Robe passed CASA Tier 2, the independent security audit Google requires for apps that read Gmail. You connect through Google and never give us your password.
Do I have to connect Gmail?
No. Forward a receipt, or add items from the iOS app, the Chrome extension or the Safari share button.
Do I have to photograph my clothes?
No. Garde-Robe builds your closet from your order emails, with the photo, brand, size and price of each item. Zero work and your closet is fully digitized!
How do I make a digital closet without taking photos?
Connect Gmail to Garde-Robe. It finds your clothing orders and adds each item with the store's photo, brand, size and price, so you never photograph a thing.
Can my friends see what I buy?
Items in your closet are public by default, so the people who follow you can see them. Purchases found in your email go straight into your closet, you can remove any item, and each wishlist can be private, shared with chosen friends or public.
What can I do with my digital closet?
See everything you own in one place, rediscover items you forgot about, show your friends what you bought, and start a Poshmark listing from any item you are ready to resell.
Can I resell clothes from my closet?
Yes. Open any item in your Garde-Robe closet and start a Poshmark listing in one tap, with its photo and details filled in.
Can I get price drop alerts on clothes I want?
Yes. Save an item from any online store and Garde-Robe watches its price, then tells you when it drops.
