I am a huge fan of fashion rental. I would say for most events over the past 2 years, I have rented an item about 50% of the time! Rental allows you to access clothing you may not have ever thought about wearing or introduces you to a new brand you may not have heard of before.  There is something so exciting about being able to wear a piece you may not have been able to buy, but just for one special moment, it’s yours. 

But fashion rental goes far beyond events in my humble opinion.  During lockdown I made use of a few rental sites which allowed me to try out every day pieces that were perfect for my return to the office, or to present at a special event. I think that is when it really clicked for me that rental should be considered as a way to consume more mindfully, even on a day-to-day basis! 

I’m a sustainable fashion girly, but I do love clothes and still get that endorphin rush that you get from wearing something “new” and for me rental is a key player in achieving this.  I worked in the corporate world for a long time and that is where I first came across LK Bennett.  Their pieces are classic and quintessentially British – the epitome of style and femininity.  When I heard that they launched their rental initiative LK Borrowed a few years ago, I quite literally jumped at the chance to try it out.  Even though they launched with only a few key pieces; the collection has continued to grow, meaning you can now get your hands on LK Bennett pieces for a fraction of the price, on a monthly subscription, with no commitment and less guilt knowing that someone else will get to love it after you have!
