Are you looking to make extra cash while keeping your wardrobe sustainable? Something Borrowed is your go-to platform for renting out your fashion pieces from the comfort of your home. Here’s how you can start earning:

Step 1: Choose the Right Items

Not sure what to list? Focus on these popular categories:

  • Designer Bags: High in demand for searches like “bags for hire.” For example, a YSL Black bag is a perfect addition to your listing.

  • Event Wear: Dresses for weddings and black-tie events. Think of elegant gowns or cocktail dresses that can shine at formal occasions.

  • Seasonal Wear: Items like ski clothes and beachwear are always sought after. Consider listing a Prada ski jacket for winter vacations or a Loewe beach bag for summer trips.

  • Trendy Everyday Wear: Contemporary staples that are in demand for daily use, such as Loewe jeans or stylish tops.

  • Unique Finds: Trendy or rare items to attract attention. Vintage or limited-edition pieces can be especially appealing to renters. Like the Cult Gaia Pearl Clutch.

Step 2: Create Attractive Listings

Make your items stand out to potential renters by focusing on:

  • Photos Matter: Use clear, well-lit images that showcase the item’s quality and details.

  • Detailed Descriptions: Include all essential details like brand, size, fabric type, and condition. For example, specify whether a bag has a removable strap or if a dress has adjustable features.

  • Set Fair Prices: Balance value and demand by researching similar listings to price your items competitively.

Take inspiration from the sample listing below to craft compelling descriptions:

Step 3: Maximise Your Earnings

To make the most out of your listings:

  • Track Performance: Monitor your most rented items to understand what works best on the platform. For example, if designer bags like a YSL Black bag or seasonal wear like a Prada ski jacket are popular, focus on adding more items in these categories.

  • Refresh Listings: Update descriptions and photos periodically to keep your items appealing.
