Wardrobe from a nonprofit, for productions without a costume-house budget
Our mission is to put donated clothing back to work. People send us pieces they no longer wear, and often a whole wardrobe someone kept for decades. We rent them out through our rental program, FashionablyGood, and lend clothing free to people heading into job interviews and to community honorees. At year end, net rental profits are split across the charities on our Honor Roll.
That makes this a good fit for student films, community and school theater, indie shoots, music videos, and editorial photography. You get a garment that was actually made in the period, and the rental fee does some good.
What we have, plainly
About 30 true vintage pieces and about 145 modern designer pieces, each one of a kind. One of each, in the size it came in. We are not a costume house: no multiples, no full size runs, no military uniforms or pre-1940s antiques right now. If you need to dress a whole chorus alike, a costume house is the right call. If you need a 1960s wool coat for your lead, ask us.

How it works for a production
Send us the brief. The year or decade, the characters, sizes, and your dates. A lookbook or mood board helps.
We pull what fits. A real person goes through the racks and replies with photos and measurements, usually within 24 hours.
We ship, you shoot, you ship back. Two weeks is standard. Longer runs are fine if you tell us up front. A prepaid return label is in the package.
Credit, if you like. We are happy to be listed in your program or credits, and with your permission we add the production to the garment's public history.
Tell us about your production
A real person replies within 24 hours.
Wrapping a production? Donate the wardrobe.
Costume departments and stylists end up with racks of pieces after a show closes. We mail you a prepaid package, the pieces get rented for charity instead of sitting in storage, and you get an itemized receipt listing each one. Give clothing or read about donating vintage.
Questions people ask
Do you have multiples or full size runs?
No. Every piece was donated, so there is one of each, in the size it came in. This works for principals, featured extras, and photo shoots. It does not work for dressing a 30-person chorus in matching looks.
What eras do you have?
Mostly mid-century through the 1990s: wool coats and capes, skirt suits, cocktail dresses, blouses, brocade, costume jewelry. Plus about 145 modern designer pieces, including suits, blazers, gowns, heels, and jewelry. Tell us the year your script is set in and we will send what fits it.
How much does it cost?
Most pieces are $15 to $95 for two weeks, shipped free both ways. If your run or shoot is longer, tell us the dates and we will work it out.
Can we alter the pieces?
Pins and temporary hems, yes. No cutting, dyeing, or permanent alterations. These are one-of-a-kind donated garments and the next person needs them intact.
Where does the money go?
OnlyFuego is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Rentals run through our program, FashionablyGood. At the end of the year, net rental profits are split across the charities on our Honor Roll, which donors and renters nominate.
Can a production donate wardrobe after it wraps?
Yes. We mail a prepaid package, and you get an itemized receipt listing each piece. Period pieces and good suiting are the most useful.
