Hello lovelies! I am back with yet another colorful, vibrant style post. Well, not really a style post but I would like to call it more of a public announcement post.
With the festival season upon us, one question that bugs most of the Indians living in the USA is ” what to wear and how to source the traditional clothing?” While, Amazon has made shopping for anything and everything under the sun insanely EASY… there is still an ongoing debate: is it better to lease or buy Indian festival and party clothing? The dilemma takes centerstage especially when we know we won’t get much use of all that clothing here.
While owning ethnic wear outfits might seem convenient, leasing is emerging as a more sustainable and practical option. I never believed in leasing clothing, but after a few rounds of renting my clothing from my new fave retailer ” LEASE THE DRESS “, my perception has changed. All that you see on me has been rented from LEASE THE DRESS.
Let’s explore why leasing could be the better choice for both the environment and your wallet and also why this new retailer is revolutionizing the entire clothing rental industry.
1. sustainability matters
Sustainability has become a significant focus in the fashion industry, and leasing Indian clothing aligns perfectly with this ethos. When you lease outfits, you’re essentially reducing waste by promoting a circular fashion model. Instead of purchasing a new outfit for every occasion, which often results in barely worn clothes sitting in closets, leasing allows these garments to be reused. This significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and shipping new clothing. In a world where fast fashion is contributing to landfills, leasing offers an eco-conscious alternative.
2. cost-effective and hassle free
Indian festival clothing, such as lehngas, sarees, and salwars can be quite expensive, especially if you are looking for designer or intricately embroidered pieces. Purchasing these outfits for a one-time use, or even for a few occasions, might not be the most cost-efficient choice. Leasing, on the other hand, provides access to a wide variety of high-quality outfits at a fraction of the cost. You can wear a different style at every event without breaking the bank. Additionally, leasing eliminates the need for long-term storage and maintenance, saving both closet space and dry-cleaning costs.
3. Variety and flexibility
One of the most appealing aspects of leasing Indian festival wear is the opportunity to experiment with different styles. When you buy, you may be limited to wearing the same outfit to multiple events. With leasing, you can select trendy, unique outfits for each occasion, ensuring you always make a statement without the commitment. This flexibility allows you to stay in line with the latest fashion trends, while also having the freedom to change your look seasonally. For instance the purple ruffle sari featured above. I would have never bought a color and crinkly silhouette like that, but thanks to leasing option – there was nothing to loose! I lease, I loved, I wore and I returned….
Conclusion
In the debate of lease vs buy for Indian festival and party clothing, leasing stands out as the more sustainable, cost-effective, and flexible option. It reduces waste, saves money, and allows you to wear new outfits at every celebration without the long-term commitment. As we move towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle, leasing offers a way to stay stylish while making responsible fashion choices and for that matter let me reintroduce you to ” LEASE THE DRESS.”
LEASE THE DRESS is the first and only US site that allows you to rent designer both Indian and western clothing, including luxury designers like Roberto Cavalli, Camilla, Zimmermann, Masaba, Seema Gujral, and much more. With lease the dress you also have the option to buy and customize. For $65 you can rent 3 outfits per month and if you want to rent designer labels, then the rental is $105. It is a win-win given it would cost you a lot more to source three pieces individually. Plus, your rental package pieces comes dry-cleaned, individually wrapped and with a free return shipping label.
I am hooked to this concept and can’t wait to show you more saris that I’ve loaned from LEASE THE DRESS. You can use code LTDxSAMMY for 20% off your first rental. Happy Leasing!!!!
