Sustainable Shopping: How Closiist Started & Why It Matters

Hi, I'm Julie Thibault-Dury, co-founder and CEO of Closiist. I'm originally from France, but New York City has become my home – and its energy shapes everything we do.

Why We Started Closiist

Closiist isn't just a marketplace. We're a community built around sustainable living. When I spoke with students recently, I heard the same frustrations again and again: they wanted to help the environment, but didn't know where to start. Finding reliable eco-friendly products felt impossible. City support for sustainability felt missing. Even remembering to bring reusable bags was a challenge.

That's when it became clear what we needed to do. Closiist exists to make sustainable living accessible and inspiring, rather than complicated or guilt-ridden.

What You'll Find at Closiist

We've built a curated selection of eco-friendly products from small businesses we trust. Every product is rigorously tested and approved by our team before it reaches you.

Our collections span beauty, accessories, books, and groceries. But our real passion? Home décor and sustainable groceries. We believe your home should reflect your values – and your pantry should be stocked with products that feel good to eat and good for the planet.

What's Next for Sustainable Shopping

Since we started Closiist, we've learned so much about what customers actually need. That's why we're constantly growing and improving. We're thrilled to announce a new partnership with Greenspark – more details coming soon on how this will help you build a more sustainable home.
