With the wedding season in full swing, it can be stressful to think about all the clothes you need for all those seemingly never-ending events. Not only does buying new ensembles for every occasion get costly for your wallet, it costs our planet a whole lot, too! Especially with ethnic wear, we have a tendency not to repeat unique pieces, which makes it a waste of resources for us and also has some questionable implications for the environment. This is where clothing rental services can come to the rescue. While the responsible fashion movement in other parts of the world has been slow to accept renting as truly sustainable. Renting Indian-wear can be a great option for those who want to rock designer pieces at a fraction of the cost while doing their part to be more responsible consumers. Sounds like a win, win for us! Here are six companies that you can snag some great pieces from as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Stage3
With some of the hottest designers and leading influencers on their platform, Stage3 has been around since 2016. Most recently, Rhea Kapoor was named as Style Director and curated their current collection for the upcoming wedding season. Stage3 also has a larger vision to make clothing rental more accepted around India.
2. The Stylease
With almost 1,000 products to choose from, The Stylease is definitely a one-stop-shop for both men and women. Not only do they have clothing, but you can also find jewelry and accessories on their website as well.
3. Flyrobe
Lehengas, dhotis, and crop tops, oh my! Flyrobe has a vast selection of all things ethnic for all occasions and what’s great about this rental service is that you can actually earn some extra income off of your closet.
This is one of India’s first clothing rental services for ethnic wear and this company even has loads of western wear to choose from. Don’t have shoes or accessories to match your clothes? The Clothing Rental has you covered on all fronts, literally!
Currently operating from their social media handles, The Source has couture looks that you can borrow (aka rent) directly from them through WhatsApp! It really is that easy. Scrolling through their Instagram, you will find loads of colorful separates, jewelry, lovely gowns fit for a queen, and even trendy western suits!
Location in Bandra, the Beg Borrow Steal Studio has a massive collection of sparkly numbers, gowns, Vintage jackets, shoes and so much more. A store where you name a style of clothing and you’ll find it.
