    Wear your rentals as much as your heart desires during your rental period. Pieces arrive professionally cleaned in a black reusable mailer to make renting and returns a breeze.

    We hope you love your item(s) as much as we do! Please take good care of items as any damage caused may incur additional fees.  

  • 3. Easy Returns

    All rentals include cleaning and a prepaid return label. Drop off (at UPS or our NYC store) on or before the last day of your rental period. Late returns incur a $30/day late fee.

What happens if I damage or lose an item?
We know great clothes are meant to be lived in, and unfortunately damage or loss can happen. Damage includes but is not limited to stains, rips, tears, and alterations that affect the usability or marketability of the item, or otherwise at our discretion.

If items are returned to us in damaged condition or reported lost (not returned over 15 days after your selected Return by date), we will have to charge your original payment method up to 100% of retail price of the rented item. We really don't want to have to do this, so please do your best to treat rented items with care!

What can I do to ensure I'm not charged for damage or loss?
Please ensure items are returned to us with no hard-to-budge stains. Take extra care to ensure there are no rips, tears, or missing parts in your return, and send it back on or before your return date.

What if I return my rental later than my Return By date?
Customers will be charged a late fee of $30 per day for each day the rented item is returned after the agreed-upon rental period. Late fees will continue to accrue until the total late fee amount equals the full retail price of the rented item or the item is returned, whichever comes first.
