Dress For The Planet With This Epic New Fashion Rental Platform

By Sammy Preston, Urban List

In the same way that single-use plastics are a major problem for the planet—single-use outfits are also bad news. That is, buying an outfit for to wear to that long lunch with mates or end-of-year party, and then never wearing it again.  

When it comes to more sustainable party season dressing—rental is the answer and we’ve just discovered a sweet new platform dishing out looks from some of our favourite Australian labels. Enter Rntr—the first clothing rental software that allows you to borrow directly from your favourite brands.

While fashion rental has existed for a little while now—the offering has been fairly limited. Party dresses from a small pool of brands that tend to fit one very specific aesthetic.

With Rntr, you’re able to borrow looks from brands like Arnsdorf, Nique, and A_C—brands already deeply invested in lasting sustainable style. Love the piece you borrowed and want to keep it forever? Rntr. allows you to keep it if you so desire.  

"We're really excited to be introducing rental as part of our circularity strategy. It has been wonderful to work with Rntr to realize this desire and integrate it into our website and logistics,” says Arnsdorf founder and designer, Jade Sarita Arnott. “It's our hope to reach new audiences that can experience an Arnsdorf garment as well as facilitate for our existing clients a way to take part in this concept of a modern wardrobe."
