We are committed to reducing fashion’s environmental impact. Our rental model supports circular fashion by keeping high quality garments in active use for longer, helping to reduce waste and encourage mindful choices.

Why Hire Instead of Buy

Occasion wear is often worn once and set aside. Hiring replaces one-off purchases with shared use, lowering demand for new production and the associated materials, water, and energy. Each garment rotating between clients means less textile waste, fewer unworn items in wardrobes, and a lighter overall footprint.

Sustainable Packaging

To minimise single-use materials, our packaging comprises reusable garment covers, recyclable paper and tissue, and compostable reusable mailers (Hero Packaging).

Garment Care & Longevity

To maximise each garment’s lifespan, we work with accredited professional dry cleaners and specialist alterations partners. Cleaning methods are chosen to preserve fabric quality, and repairs are completed as needed so garments remain in circulation for as long as possible. We also share clear care guidance with our clients to prevent avoidable damage between hires.

Our Ongoing Commitment

We are continuously working to:

• Reduce remaining single-use inputs across our operations.

• Refine care processes that extend garment life.

• Strengthen circular practices with our suppliers and partners.

• Provide clear, practical guidance so clients can participate in lower-impact fashion.
