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!
