Rent out your wardrobe & earn
Make your garments available for others to rent through our consignment service and
earn a little fun money on the side.
On average our rentals are booked once a month, with more popular styles being booked
up to 3 times per month. This means your item could pay for itself and start earning for
you in just a few short months
Simply consign your items to us, then sit back and wait for your monthly earnings
to roll in.
This service operates on a commission basis to ensure there are no upfront set-up costs
for you. When an item is booked, we'll split the rental price with you 50/50 less a $15 fee
to go towards shipping, drycleaning and all the work that goes into getting your rental out
the door. Our half covers photography, booking management, dry-cleaning, shipping and marketing
your pieces to our database of close to 200,000 fashion-lovers.

Frequently asked questions
Yes you can. To book your item simply email us at rentals@designerwardrobe.co.nz with the date you have in mind and we'll book it for you (so long as it hasn't been previously booked for your dates). There will be a small charge of $20 to cover cleaning and administration, plus any relevant shipping charges.
We accept current designer pieces in good condition (no rips or stains please). Dresses are by far our most booked style, but we also accept tops, bottoms, jackets, handbags and accessories. Items are accepted at our discretion, based on our knowledge of what's popular with our customers.
While you always own your items; we ask that you leave consigned items with us for at least 2 months so we can photograph and market them sufficiently to begin receiving bookings. We're always happy to review special circumstances, but this gives us a fair chance to make a great return for you which may not be possible in a shorter period of time.
We've been running DW Rentals for almost 3 years now and the number of items that have been damaged or lost is very (very!) few. However, there's always a risk that this could happen so please consider this when consigning an item to us.
Should your item be damaged and this is repairable, we will cover the cost of repair. Should it not be repairable, or if the item is lost or stolen, we’ll do everything we can to get reimbursement from the renter to pay you a fair market value for the item.
Please note that we do not take responsibility for fair wear and tear, as this is to be expected over time.
Items are typically priced around 15% of the RRP, depending on condition and overall demand for the item or brand within our rental collections. We'll use our extensive industry knowledge to choose a price that will give you the best possible return.
You will be paid each time your item is worn. We will email you after each wear and the payment will be made to your DW Wallet. You can then choose to spend this with us, or withdraw it (free of charge) to any NZ bank account.
