Trends are hard to keep up with. Once you’ve saved up and spent all your wages on the latest look, the seasons changed and you're back to square one. We end up spending too much money on fast fashion, to wear it hardly ever and then throw it out. Sadly, a lot of fast fashion ends up in landfill, and not only this, the fashion industry is one of the biggest consumers of environment and biggest producers of carbon emissions. Although companies are hugely responsible, it is fuelled by the buyers themselves so it’s time for an urgent change, starting with our wardrobe. Let the guilt sink in, but don’t worry we are here to advise you on a sustainable future of fashion renting and wardrobe sharing.
When you have a big event coming up or just need something cute for your holiday, there is no need to buy something new and expensive. You can get the perfect item delivered to your door ready to wear and return guilt-free. It's only a tiny fraction of the cost to wear desirable designer brands and realistically once it’s featured on your Insta then it’s job is done. Why not send it back it for someone else to enjoy and look great in too. Let's make fashion circular.
