Why Rentals?

Each day we are confronted by the climate crisis. From unprecedented heatwaves to deadly flash floods, rising seas levels to biodiversity loss, it is abundantly clear that climate change is no longer a future threat, but a present reality. We no longer have the privilege of burying our heads in the sand, hoping the next generation will finally figure it all out. We have a responsibility to actively change our habits & one such way of doing that is opting to Rent, Not Buy.

With our industry responsible for 2.1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in a single year, our love for everything fabulous needs to take on a new identity. Here are some reasons to rent a piece instead of buying.

Sustainability Babes

By opting to rent clothing you’re making a conscious choice to reduce textile waste. Renting not only allows you to enjoy the latest styles guilt-free but also contributes to a more sustainable fashion industry. Renting clothing is 82% more carbon-efficient than creating new clothing. For each garment you rent, it’s like planting 3 trees. Our planet is not able to keep up with fast fashion & you can be a part of the solution by pumping the brakes a bit.  Let’s save the earth one rental at a time.

Unlimited wardrobe, Endless possibilities

Imagine having access to an endless closet packed with pieces you’ve always wanted to wear but felt guilty over a purchase you’ll only wear once. When you rent clothing, you’ll always have something to wear. From special events to elevating your brunch fit, renting opens up a world of unlimited sartorial possibilities, giving you the chance to experiment with different styles, colours & patterns. Embrace your inner fashion chameleon & create unique looks for every occasion without the clutter or the guilt.

Bye-Bye Storage Woes

Aren’t you tired of battling with overflowing closets & storage issues? Renting eliminates the need for owning excessive amounts of clothes that you may rarely wear. Plus, by renting instead of buying, you can say goodbye to those pesky dry-cleaning bills & wardrobe maintenance struggles. Renting clothing also allows you to be more organised & maybe wear pieces in your personal wardrobe you otherwise wouldn’t have worn. You know, the skirt you never were able to find the right top for or the shirt with the perfect pants.

No time to waste

Shopping for clothing takes time! & it can be frustrating. Instead of spending hours trolling stores, waiting in line for the dressing room & struggling to find the right size renting from Big Bad Batch makes it all so much simpler! From the comfort of your couch you can rent one-off pieces with a few clicks of a button. Plus our sizing guide is well researched & takes into account not only the true sizes of South African women, but the sizes of the clothes we offer.

Don’t break the bank!

How many items do you have hanging in your wardrobe that you’ve worn once, or perhaps have never worn?! Or maybe you splurged on a special outfit for an event & you’ve only worn it once. Or you impulse-bought something trendy you were sure you’d wear but then it just didn’t feel right? We’ve all done it. Renting clothing will save you money in the long run.

As you can see, renting is a game-changer for fashion enthusiasts. Say hello to a more affordable, versatile & sustainable way of staying stylish. So Browse, Borrow & Be with Big Bad Batch.

Best,

The Big Bad Batch Team.
