About Us

Hauteline is your premier destination for clothing rental, offering a diverse selection of chic pieces for weddings, birthdays, vacations, and more.

We hoped to create a name authentic to the sartorial roots of our company, so we started with ‘Haute’ as a reference to haute couture. To reflect our sustainable, circular model—where you can rent pieces for all of life's special moments—we added ‘line’ - introducing the image of a line that loops around again and again. We fell in love when we discovered the true definition of 'hotline', which not only aligns from a phonetic perspective but also with our vision to create a tightly curated rental platform where you can find chic pieces you love with ease, defining our name, Hauteline.

Vision

A Modern Marketplace

Recognizing sustainability’s growing influence on fashion and beyond, we set out to build a marketplace that brings together sophisticated design and conscious consumption.

At Hauteline, we hope to push the boundaries of what clothing rental looks and feels like to meaningfully change how and why we get dressed.

Philosophy

Inspired by Nature

At Hauteline, our love of fashion and nature inspires everything we do. While we would never ask you to sacrifice the joy that comes from wearing a new outfit, we do invite you to reimagine what new can mean with us.

Mission

Redefining the Joy of Getting Dressed

We strive to give you access to a world where the best clothing is more sustainable and accessible. And we take comfort in knowing that, with us, you can wear what makes you feel boldly like yourself.

To us, this is luxury.

After some time working in luxury fashion, my exposure to new brands and styles sparked a dream to dress better. Concurrently, witnessing the excess built into the fabric of the industry inspired me to explore more sustainable alternatives like rental and secondhand.

However, at the time, I wasn't able to find circular options that spoke to my sense of style and desire for curation and value. This unmet personal need led me to start Hauteline, a fashion rental marketplace for tastemakers. With a background in sustainability and a whole lot of love for the art, I envision Hauteline as the go-to rental choice for discerning women who demand sustainability that is both fashion-forward and attainable.
