About Kleerdrobe

Finding clothes you love online is harder than it should be. You open ten tabs, fight a search box that doesn’t get what you mean, second-guess the sizing, and still walk away with no real idea whether what you bought was made to last or made to fall apart by spring.

We built Kleerdrobe because we were tired of that, and tired of the trade-off the industry keeps pushing at you: good discovery, or shopping responsibly, but never both in the same place.

We’re Wander and Martino, two econometricians based in the Netherlands. We spend our days pulling the real story out of messy data, and at some point we got curious about one of the messiest datasets around: the clothes we buy.

Fashion is full of claims. Premium. Conscious. Responsibly made. Almost none of it you can actually check. That bothered us, so we set out to build the thing we wished existed: a way to find clothes you’ll genuinely love, with a clearer view of the evidence available about how they were made and an honest account of the gaps in that evidence.

Most fashion tools make you pick a side. The clever ones hand you endless options and smart recommendations but stay quiet on what any of it costs the planet. The eco-minded ones make you “sustainable” by limiting you, funnelling you onto a small shelf of pre-approved brands and calling it choice.

We didn’t want to limit you, and we don’t think honesty should be a niche.

So Kleerdrobe is designed to do both across participating, approved retailers as their feeds become available. Search by brand or keyword and filter by your size, budget and the categories you care about. Where the data supports it, listings can include clearly labelled category or material-based production estimates and separate brand-level ratings. Coverage and limitations stay visible, so the choice remains yours.

Kleerdrobe is a bit of wordplay we couldn’t resist. “Kleer” echoes the Dutch kleren, meaning clothing. It also sounds like “clear”, which is the whole point: seeing your options, and what’s behind them, without the fog. And there’s the (war)drobe at the heart of it. Clothes, clarity and a wardrobe, all in one word.

We think transparency is about to stop being optional. The EU is developing Digital Product Passport requirements for textiles over the coming years; the textile-specific timetable and data fields are still being set. We see the direction of travel as a chance to make evidence easier to compare, and we’re building Kleerdrobe with that future in mind.

We’re starting in the Netherlands, with people who care about how they dress and what they’re buying into. Europe is next.

We’re early, and we’re building in the open. If a wardrobe you can see into sounds like yours, come find us.
