Fashion leasing: Luxury bags, designer dresses and baby clothes for rent

Rent instead of buy
Fashion leasing, the new way of dealing with fashion

Do you recognize yourself in this situation? When you’re cleaning out your closet, you suddenly find the jeans that are way too tight that you bought ten years ago because they were so cheap on sale? And then there are what feels like 50 other pieces that are just waiting to be worn by you, but have never left your closet. In fact, you’re not the only one who encounters this situation at least once a year.

UNOWN – Extends the life of clothing

The founders explain the intention of their sustainable fashion concept on their website: “Our aim is for the clothes to last ten times longer. To do this, we keep them in a constant cycle and work with our partner brands on the system.” UNOWN represents, for example Brands such as Scotch & Soda, Closed and Marc O’Polo. You can lease parts once, but you can also take out various memberships per month. The entry membership is available for 39 euros per month and those who want to shop a little more can go to the extended Membership for 69 euros. You don’t have to worry about poor hygiene either. UNOWN thoroughly cleans every garment before giving it away so that it feels like new.

FOBE – the It-Bag Subscription

Fobe makes the hearts of high-end bag lovers beat faster. Scrolling through the pages feels like you are in a luxury boutique. With one significant difference: the prices differ significantly from the original purchase prices. Luxury bags such as Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta or Balenciaga can be purchased from as little as 79 euros to 99 euros per month. The different subscriptions allow you to exchange the bag every two months. So you bring a breath of fresh air into your everyday fashion life and also get a trendy luxury bag.

The Beyond Club – Hire high-end bags weekly

Carrying out a Gucci bag once in a lifetime is probably a dream of many a woman. For special occasions or as a new source of inspiration, The Beyond Club offers the perfect deal: borrow designer bags weekly without looking at the price tag. At the same time, you support a sustainable model: Because instead of buying new, you save resources and invest in a bag that has already been produced. The luxury handbags are available from as little as 24 euros per week. The condition of each bag is described in detail so that you know what to expect when you rent it. However, The Beyond Club takes great care to ensure that the bag is in perfect condition.

You will definitely not find any off-the-shelf products here. Dresscoded has the perfect designer dress rental for every special occasion in your life. Whether it’s a cocktail dress, traditional costume or an exciting evening dress: the clothing leasing portal is prepared for every important occasion in your life. The selection is huge: you can choose between labels such as Versace, Barbara Schwarzer or Natascha Grün. The price range for an evening dress is from 120 euros to 650 euros. For a surcharge of 25 euros, you can have the clothes delivered to your home for 24 hours to try on and organize a small fashion show in your apartment. The cleaning of the dress is included in the rental price. You can also rent matching accessories and complete your outfit.

Kindby fashion leasing for babies

Babies grow so quickly, especially in their first year of life, that newly bought onesies can be too small after just two weeks. The Viennese start-up company Kindby offers various assembled boxes, each with 20 second-hand items of clothing, at a price of EUR 54.50 to EUR 59 per month. The condition of the baby clothes is always new or like new. You are insured with Kindby against unavoidable baby food stains that you cause yourself. Baby clothes no longer have to remain unused in some box, but can simply be passed on.
