About Us

Our story

The Hire was created in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic that made most rethink the values of our consumer world and its lack of sustainability. 

Our website offers a curated selection of clothing items and carefully crafted edits to simplify your search when in need of an outfit for any occasion. What sets us apart is the inspiration we offer as starting point to your search, as well as an inventory of items you won't find in other rental services. From occasion wear to street wear, we offer solutions for a variety of styles and in line with current trends. 
The Hire is a hassle-free, ethical and simple solution to cut the cost of wearing high-end brands as well as the traditional fashion consumption footprint by allowing multiple people to enjoy the same item. 

Ethics

We educate ourselves on the brands we choose to offer in order to make sure their pieces are ethically made, and we pay careful attention to the companies' values and what they stand for so we can offer a carefree experience to our renters. Our very business model requires we only use high-quality items to ensure they will last through rentals so everything you will find on The Hire has passed our quality test. 

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the core of our business model and we are always learning/open to suggestions to make our service the most eco-friendly and ethical as possible. Fashion is the second biggest polluter in the world and we believe offering one alternate solution to over-consumption of fashion is a first step in shifting how people view the market. We venture to de-clutter your closet while offering more options. 

Examples of actions that we have taken so far:

  • We re-use our garment boxes as many times as feasible
  • We provide returnable shipping boxes so that we may recycle them properly and offer a no-waste experience to our customers
  • We get all garments dry cleaned at our eco-friendly dry cleaner
  • We do not put hang tags on our garments for branding to minimize waste
