So here’s an interesting business model my wife recently subscribed to.... On Loan
Pay £70 pcm, receive two garments (~£500 value), wear for a month, return and choose new stuff. If something doesn’t fit or is out of stock you can swap ASAP. Initially I thought this sounded like a bum deal but it means you can try stuff that’s a bit more occasional, expensive or seasonal without adding to landfill. There’s even the possibility to buy an item if you really like it.
This year we’ve taken a long hard look at our spending habits and wardrobe space and had a huge cull, I literally put two thirds of my stuff in the loft to see if I’d miss it... not yet.
