HURRay for HURR, the AirBnB of Fashion
/As I parade through the London canal in yet another gray day, I thought I would share with you what’s been cooking on my side lately.
You know a grey day won’t stop me from wearing colourful outfits so when I stumbled upon the beautiful Rainbow puff dress from Selkie, I was instantly in love. However, I had been postponing getting anything from Selkie because despite its gorgeous dresses would save animals, their garments do not save the planet. And as part of this years’ resolution I really have been trying to reduce my shopping consumption and living by the example of Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. We need to help our lovely planet!
So, when I heard about Hurr, the self-proclaimed AirBnB of fashion, was renting these pretty dresses (and many other luxurious items), I thought it was about time to test this out.
I have just returned two of my first HURR rentals and I must say: I am in love.
From the customer service to its delivery, this is one hundred percent a service I will be using again. Why should you use it? You may be asking. I know that every fashionista loves buying new clothes. However, it’s time to love fashion with a passion and care for our planet at the same time. Only if we act together we will see real results. And I am here for it.
Let me tell you some added bits that made me fall in love with the concept:
I rented a Giambatista Valli gown for 5 days and it only cost me 80£ - That dress alone is one, SOLD OUT; and two: more than 80£ worth. That Selkie puffer dress you see on my pics? That was 30£. I felt like a princess, didn’t take unnecessary space in my closet and now it’s gone to somebody else’s sweet home
Hurr allows its members to rent from other people’s wardrobes as well as lending your own so it’s kind of a win-win for all
By renting other people’s wardrobes we are giving those clothes another use, avoiding further sales from unnecessary and wasteful high-street fashion and monetizing from it. Plus, you are engaging in the circular fashion economy :)
To top it up, customer service is beyond fab and the delivery comes in eco and reusable packages. Shall I say more?
HURR, HURR, my friends!
