The Best Fashion Resale & Rental Sites
With party season in full swing and dressing up back on the agenda, the most sustainable way to go to the ball is to rent.
There are a plethora of options available which allow us all to reduce, reuse and recycle in style.
We’ve rounded up the best fashion rental and resale sites for the moments you’re in need of a wardrobe refresh.
1. Cocoon
Price range: £-£££
A luxury bag subscription service where you can access Cocoon's huge archive of classic handbags for every occasion for just under £50 a month. Stocking everything from vintage and limited editions, to the latest trends, Cocoon's partnership with luxury after-care service Restory ensures that deliveries arrive the next day in perfect condition.
We love their circular model because it encourages access and experience, allowing you to shop less and wear more. Enjoy a bag, then pass it on to another member who will appreciate it.
2. Rotaro
Price range: £-££
Rotaro is a brand new fashion rental platform that is making waves on social media. It’s ideal for those looking for fashion-forward, insider-favourite labels. You can rent your bag, dress or jacket from 4 to 12 days.
Renting with Rotaro allows you to experiment with different styles, discover new brands and extend the life of a garment without creating waste.
The variety of products available is limitless and impressive. We can imagine how difficult it would be to return them.
3. HURR
Price range: £-£££
If you’re looking to rent high-end luxury brands such as Bottega Veneta, Cult Gaia and Jacquemus, Hurr is your go-to destination. It’s a peer-to-peer rental service with no central hub, which means lenders are responsible for posting, couriering, or exchanging items in person, giving you complete control. The cost of a seven-day dress rental starts from just £30 and items can be delivered by Pedals, a fully-green bicycle courier service in central London.
Because Hurr is so popular and rapidly expanding, most items are rented to the HURR community within the first 30 days.
4. Vestiatire Collective
Price range: ££-£££
Vestiaire Collective is a resale platform for luxury fashion items that was founded in Paris in 2009. The company acts as a middleman connecting sellers and buyers, ensuring quality and smooth operations, and most importantly, fostering a global community.
It's the world's largest and most comprehensive resale site for designer pre-owned items, that are authenticated by in-house experts. You might get lucky and find that Birkin you've been searching for...
5. Rebelle
Price range: £-££
Rebelle was founded in 2013 by Cécile Wickmann and specialises in second-hand luxury fashion with a concierge service. It also hosts shopping events in boutiques across Europe, where customers can purchase in person rather than online. We'll be sure to keep an eye out for the next set of dates for their shopping event.
6. Rewind Vintage
Price range: ££-£££
Rewind is the place to go if you're looking for vintage and unique, pre-owned luxury handbags and jewellery. The collections, carefully hand-picked by the team, include timeless classics from luxury labels like Chanel and Celine, vintage treasures from Gucci and Hermès, and other one-of-a-kind items that you just won't find in a department store.
If you're willing to pay a bit more than your usual sale prices, you'll get your hands on a valuable collector's item that could be worth more in the long run.
