How to rent
How to rent
Choose your rental start date on the calendar (the day you'd like your item to arrive) and select a 4-day, 8-day or 16-day rental. Bookings must be placed at least one day in advance, and weekends are greyed out as we don't deliver on Saturdays or Sundays. If your rental ends on a weekend or public holiday, we'll collect on the next working day.
Delivery & returns
Delivery & returns
Delivery and return collection are both pre-booked for you, so there's nothing to arrange. Your rental arrives ready to wear, and when you're done, simply repack it in the same box, garment bag and hanger it came in, attach the return waybill, and have it ready for collection on your final rental day. See full shipping info here.
Fit guarantee
Fit guarantee
Every rental comes with our Fit Guarantee. If your item doesn't fit, notify us within 12 hours of delivery with the security tag still attached, via WhatsApp on 079 393 4213. We'll arrange collection, and once the item is returned and audited, you'll receive either a cash refund or store credit — your choice — less delivery fees and a R150 processing fee.
The item must be returned on the next working day to qualify. Please note that failure to self-return or a failed courier collection will void the Fit Guarantee.
