Doing Sustainable Fashion, Not Buying It: Loanhood and Peer-to-peer Clothes Renting

The rental industry could be a perfect solution to both our single-use fashion problem and something called ‘wardrobing’ (the term for returning worn purchases). These issues are bad for the planet and bad for business and although clothing rental has been around for over a century some nifty entrepreneurs have seen a gap in the market. On this episode of the Clean Fashion Podcast, our hosts Aarmina and Reanar speak to two out of the three minds behind Loanhood, the app creating a new fashion rental community. Join us in conversation with Lucy Hall and Jen Sharon about their peer-to-peer fashion rental app the is championing an inclusive and circular retail experience.

Hosted by Reanar James and Aamina Jung.
