Get in Touch with Kept Closer
We're so glad you're here. Whether you have a question about a post, want to share your own styling story, or are interested in collaborating, we'd love to hear from you. Kept Closer was built on the belief that thoughtful dressing is a conversation — and your voice matters in that dialogue.
Founded by Clara Bennett in Columbus, Ohio, Kept Closer is more than just a style blog. It's a community of women who value wearability, sustainability, and the quiet confidence that comes from dressing with intention. We welcome your thoughts, questions, and stories as we continue exploring what it means to build a wardrobe that truly works for real life.
How to Reach Us
The best way to contact the Kept Closer team is via email at [email protected]. We read every message personally and do our best to respond thoughtfully to each inquiry.
What We'd Love to Hear About
We welcome a variety of inquiries and conversations, including:
General questions about posts, styling advice, or wardrobe philosophy
Collaboration opportunities with brands, vintage shops, or fellow creators who share our values
Reader stories about your own journey with secondhand fashion, capsule wardrobes, or sustainable style
Press inquiries or interview requests
Technical issues with the keptcloser.com website
Feedback and suggestions for future content or topics you'd like to see covered
Response Time
We typically respond to emails within 3-5 business days. During busier periods or while Clara is traveling for vintage market research, it may take up to a week. Please know that we value your message and will get back to you as soon as we can.
If your inquiry is time-sensitive — such as a collaboration with a specific deadline or a press request — please mention that in your subject line, and we'll do our best to prioritize accordingly.
Collaboration Inquiries
Kept Closer is selective about partnerships and collaborations. We work with brands and organizations that align with our core values: sustainability, quality over quantity, and authentic storytelling. If you're reaching out about a potential collaboration, please include details about your brand, why you think we'd be a good fit, and what you have in mind.
We're especially interested in connecting with vintage sellers, secondhand platforms, small-batch designers, and local Columbus businesses that share our commitment to thoughtful consumption.
A Note from Clara
Thank you for taking the time to reach out. When I started Kept Closer, I hoped it would become a space where women could explore style without the pressure of perfection or the exhaustion of constant trends. Your emails, stories, and questions remind me why this work matters. Whether you're just discovering the joy of thrifting or you've been building a considered wardrobe for years, I'm honored to be part of your journey.
I look forward to hearing from you.
— Clara Bennett, Founder of Kept Closer
