About Us

Our mission at Our Closet is to provide a friendly, convenient, and accessible place to source your next special occasion piece - from someone you trust! The beauty is in the community - we encourage and facilitate communication between borrowers and lenders to allow for low key and flexible transactions. Whether you are here as a borrower, lender, or browser, we are so happy to have you join Our Closet!

The idea for Our Closet started out as a shared photo album amongst a few friends, but has since become a broader, trusted community across the country - while still maintaining that close-knit feel. Buying a new dress for every occasion gets expensive, and stressful. The concept of sharing dresses is not only cost-effective, but it can be fun too! How many times have you said to someone “I LOVE your dress!” and wondered how you could wear it yourself?

By using Our Closet, borrowers can wear the dress or handbag of their dreams for a fraction of the cost, and lenders are able to earn extra money on their own closet items.

Don't want to buy a new dress or handbag for each wedding you have? Browse our closet for something you might love but don't want to buy. Splurge on that dress you were eyeing that was perhaps out of your budget? Bring down the cost by adding it to Our Closet and letting other people borrow it.

Who is Our Closet for?

Anyone looking for a simple, convenient, and fun way to borrow and lend special occasion dresses and handbags

How does it work?

As a Lender

  1. Add dresses and handbags to Our Closet using our submission forms (separate forms for dresses and handbags).
  2. Accept, deny, or suggest modifications to requests to borrow your items. You will be notified via email if one of your pieces has been requested.
  3. Earn up to 75% commission for every rental!
  4. Manage your own inventory - add, remove, or change the price of any of your listing

Our Closet is different from other peer-to-peer rental services because we focus on occasion pieces, therefore do not accept casual wear (tops, pants, shows, etc). For more information on our dress/handbag requirements, check out our FAQS or reach out to us: DM on IG @browse_our_closet or email browseourcloset@gmail.com.

As a Borrower

  1. Browse Our Closet on Instagram or here on our website. Check out the comment section for each listing on Instagram for more information, or post your own question before making a request!
  2. Submit a request to borrow a dress or handbag. Your request will go to the lender to review, and they will either accept, deny, or suggest modifications.
  3. Partner with the lender on a delivery method that works for you both (local exchange or shipping).
  4. Return the dress or handbag to the lender by the target return date and browse for your next event!
