I grinned at the consistency of Clara’s closet! So fun and joyous. I can’t get into borrowing, but I’m really into hand me downs. I have no qualms asking a friend or acquaintance if they’re moving, if they are planning to get rid of any clothes and can I take that problem off their hands. I’ve been gifted black sacks full of stuff or paid a token cost per sack - then I shop the hand me downs, share with other interested parties and donate any leftovers. (Fully aware donation is complex and no panacea... another days discussion ...)
As someone who’s worked in rental (brand managed, not peer to peer), I’ve found it really interesting when people are more open to renting from chic online peers when there are options right in front of you - your friends! I’m hosting a house “cooling” party this week at my flat for a few friends, using it as an excuse to sip Prosecco and swap hardly worn clothes with each other😇
