What We Offer (Besides Compliments on Your Wardrobe)

TSA — The Suitcase Alternative — is a closet-sharing service that’s part style hack, part sustainability mission, and 100% genius. The idea was created out of my own need and this two-fold problem I constantly have.

I enjoy browsing and shopping for clothes online, but let’s be real — I don’t have nearly enough occasions in a year to actually wear all the stuff I buy. Could some of it make me money and make me feel better about my overflowing closet? No one’s asking you to rent out your favorite dress — the one you’d save in a fire. This is more about those random-but-cute pieces you bought for that one trip, one concert, one oddly-themed bachelorette weekend. They’ve served their moment — now give them a second life. Think of it like the Turo of closets: people started by renting out the car they had, and now some literally buy a car just to list it. You could do the same with clothes — except the barrier is lower, and the outfits are way cuter.

This service would be even more clutch for kids, who outgrow their clothes over night.

On the other hand, I hate packing. I don't know what to bring. I don't want to over/underpack. I never understand the destination enough. Weather is constantly changing. And even though my husband is a simple creature, we still have to pack for him. My kid could technically wear his favorite shorts over and over again, but accidents happen (all the time, BTW). All of a sudden, that carry on bacame super tight! I don't want to impulse buy something we will not wear again, duh.

Clothes are just so easy to clean and reuse. If someone does you "dirty", slam them with one star review. Just like you'd do to your Uber driver or AirBnB host.

Who Do We Think This is For?

  • 🧳 Gen Z travelers who know how to pack vibes, not bags
  • 🌆 Weekend warriors squeezing brunch, hikes, and rooftop drinks into 48 hours
  • 🌍 Digital nomads hopping from WiFi to wine bar
  • ✈️ Carry-on-only flyers who treat overhead bins like boss battles

For Travelers

  • 📅 You booked the trip. Flights locked. Vibes high.
  • 🧳 Now skip the suitcase and may browsing begin — find a local closet that matches your style and size.
  • 🔍 Filter by season, aesthetic, and occasion (festival, brunch, 3rd-date energy… we got you).
  • 📦 Your TSA-approved outfits get delivered right to your Airbnb — DoorDash style.
  • 📸 You show up styled. No baggage claim. No overthinking. No wrinkled dresses.

For Closet Owners

  • 🧼 Start with a little spring cleaning (yes, even in October). If you forgot you owned it, it’s probably ready for someone else's prime time.
  • 📸 Snap some cute pics. (Note: we’re building tools to prettify your photos, but for now, use that portrait mode like a pro.)
  • 📝 Write a quick description. Think: fit, fabric, vibe, and anything that screams “I’m the one.”
  • 🏷️ Tag it smartly: style, size, season, occasion. This helps travelers find your closet fast.
  • 💸 List it. Relax. Make passive income while your clothes go out and live their best life.

Why We’re Doing This

Because owning 12 jackets back home doesn't help when you're freezing in "mild" California. Because we love fashion but hate waste. Because we believe you should be able to travel light, live big, and still look fire.

TSA is for the shoppers, the planners, the forgetful packers, and the stylish locals who know that *a cute outfit should never stay in the closet*.
