5 Reasons to Consider Clothing Rental for Travel

 

“Rental will continue to expand, given consumer sustainability consciousness and a reset in consumerism. We have all made do with a lot less for many weeks – enough to form new habits”, said Sonia Lapinsky of retail consultants AlixPartners.

As states and borders start to open up and life slowly starts to get back to a somewhat new normal, planning a trip seems closer and more exciting than ever. As you bring out your luggage from storage, we encourage you to consider traveling lighter and turning to clothing rental for travel not only to save you time spent on packing but also for the various reasons we have listed below. Discover a personally styled Trvl Porter wardrobe for your next vacation or staycation! 

Reflecting on our post about why sustainable fashion is the future, we highlight the rise of the informed consumer, technological advancements and environmental impact. For all of these reasons, rental clothing is gaining popularity as more and more people start noticing the positive impact it has on the environment and their wallet. You’ll even be surprised to learn that wearing rental clothing for travel will reduce your carbon footprint (more on that below)!

If you haven’t rented clothes before, we can only guess what you’re thinking, “Could sustainable rental fashion really offer trendy and stylish clothing?” The answer is yes! Sustainable fashion doesn’t have to limit your ability to dress on trend or hinder your personal style - you might even be surprised by the higher quality product you are wearing. Rental clothing really is no different than sleeping in someone’s Airbnb or even using towels in a hotel.

5 Reasons to Consider Clothing Rental For Travel

If you have thought about rental clothing for your future trip, here’s why you should give it a shot and see how renting can actually benefit you (and your style) during your vacay.

  1. Saves packing time

With Trvl Porter, you don’t have to worry about folding your clothes the right way, spending hours trying to plan how many jeans or skirts you need as well as thinking about if that Fuchsia blouse really does go with those pants.

The beauty of our service is that a personal stylist plans your outfits based on your style, fit and trip activities you provide and then delivers you a lookbook of options for you to choose from.

The items you rent are delivered straight to you at your destination! When your trip is over, you simply leave the items at the front desk in the provided pre-paid envelope to ship back.

With less time spent on planning and packing your outfits, you will have adequate space for your basics such as skincare, shoes, and undergarments. Not to mention more room for shopping finds and gifts to bring back to your friends and family.

 

2. Budget-friendly

Trvl Porter: Money

You might be surprised by how much more money you save by renting your clothes compared to buying.

Not only is renting clothes cheaper than splurging on the full item, but you also have the option of purchasing the clothes you rent at a discount in case you fall in love with something and can’t part with. Think of this as a way to “try before you buy.”

Additionally, instead of spending money on buying new clothes for your trip, renting your outfits will help increase your travel budget for expenses and sightseeing experiences instead.

 

3.Reduces environmental fashion and travel impact

Consumers are starting to be more mindful and ethical when it comes to buying products and are looking for new ways to be more responsible with their consumption habits.

Renting has become an excellent option for the consumer who loves fashion but also wants to reduce their carbon footprint.

Because fashion’s biggest environmental crime lies in the overproduction of clothing, clothing rental companies like Trvl Porter help to recycle fashion instead of producing more fashion.

Your efforts don’t just stop there! From a travel perspective, renting your clothes means you pack lighter and your suitcase will weigh less. This reduces the weight of your luggage on the plane which lessens the amount of CO2 that a plane emits, contributing to reducing your overall travel carbon footprint.

 

4. Access

Choosing to rent your outfits gives you more access to the season's current fashion trends and up and coming designers. You might even come across excellent brands that not only are trendy and exciting but are also eco-friendly.

Additionally, if you are a lover of all things fashion, then you know taking risks is half the fun and rental will allow you to take risks without a full commitment of purchasing the items. It’s a win-win in our books!

 

5. Styled and customized for you
