Style Lend

Faster, cheaper and easier than going to a shop and buy a new dress! A friend of mine told me about this new app where you can rent dresses from other girls living close to you. I was skeptical at the very beginning because I love going for shopping but sometimes it takes so much time and energy! So I downloaded the StyleLend app and I found the dress I was looking for!!! I contacted the girl, she got back to me very soon and we met the day after in a Starbucks next to my place on my way back from school. The process was easy and fast and I could rent the dress for such a good price! Can’t wait to rent the next one!

A new app but very sleek functions! I like how you can freely contact your lender (as a renter). Customer service is also great — they’re very generous and gave me coupons. I learned about this company through a friend and I’m willing to share it with my other friends :) after all, the more items in the app, the better!

I was actually looking to buy a dress but found this app instead on Unilocal.I didn’t notice it was an app at first so i thought I’d share my experience here to make it more clear! :) You can rent stuff from other girls for soooo much less! I downloaded the app, sent a request and the other girl got back to me the next day. She lives in SoMa too so i just picked it up on my way to work and then return it after a week! It was super easy and the dress was AWESOME!

Rented a dress I own using this service. It took longer than expected to get it back. It took weeks to get payment for renting the dress. It was stretched out and in poor shape. Unlikely I’ll ever wear it again or ever rent again using this service. Only rent your things here if you don’t care about the item and don’t mind slow customer support. Great idea but awful experience. And no, I don’t want a free rental to make up for this experience.

The idea behind this company is great but the execution is terrible. What I thought would be a simple rental turned into a mess of back-​and-​forth emails and offers for discounts on my next rental for every inconvenience.
I requested a dress 3 weeks in advance but they had to rush it to me through UPS which was the worst since I’m not some rich housewife who can stay home all day waiting for a package. I don’t know if all their packaging arrives the same way or if mine was different because it was rushed, but there are absolutely no instructions at all included. It was just a dress wrapped in tissue paper and crammed into a box. The dress was a little delicate since the top was covered in sequins so I’m a little surprised they didn’t take any extra care with the packaging. I had to call and request a return label since there wasn’t one included. Once I called I expected the label to be emailed immediately but instead had to wait over an hour and email them again.
It was all very frustrating and to top it off I have 2 unexplained charges on my credit card from them. I requested a receipt or even just a simple explanation for the charges but haven’t heard back yet. It sucks because their idea is a good one and they seem friendly enough through every interaction. But unfortunately friendliness doesn’t make up for incompetence. You’re running a business, get your shit together.

Recently at an event I was the lucky winner of a Style Lend dress rental. I was excited but didn’t have a reason to use my free rental so I planned on saving it until I had a good reason. Funny enough I was at work a couple of weeks ago and totally forgot about our holiday party.
Without any hesitation I reached out to Style Lend and caught them up to speed with my dilemma. They were able to squeeze me in and offered to pull some dresses before I even got to my appointment.
Once I was there Brittany Allyn provided such great service — styling different dresses and providing great feedback that made me feel confident about my final decision. I was at my appointment for just 30 minutes but I was able to find a dress for my event and an additional dress for NYE. On top of that I rented a gorgeous necklace that people complimented all night. Style Lend was clutch in saving me from what could have been a disastrous night.
Thank you!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! Great concept and such wonderful women! Going in and trying on the dresses with these lovely gals is a total treat, they are all so sweet and supportive (i ordered a dress and when I got it, I realized that it was too long and uncomfortable and they quickly exchanged the dress at no cost to me. I will be using Style Lend as much as I possibly can!

I was having a really hard time finding a dress for a summer wedding, I came across this place on Unilocal and read a the good reviews and I totally see why. I would totally recommend it, they have so many cute designer dresses and very affordable for every occasion. The best part is that you can actually try the dresses on, unlike other websites I was considering on renting. And by the way all the girls were super nice. I would totally rent again! Good job style lend!

This place is fantastic! Super helpful and friendly. They have a lot of great options and fair rates. I went to find a dress to wear to a wedding, and found lots that now I’ll have to find excuses to wear!
There’s no sign out front, but with an appointment you’ll be let in and find a dress in no time!

I described Style Lend to a friend as «like Rent the Runway, but local and improved!»
Working with Tania and Lona is easy and enjoyable. I had plenty of dresses to try on before selecting the perfect one for a friends wedding. I received so many compliments when I wore the rented dress! I will StyleLend from here until the end of my style loving time.

Style Lend is the PERFECT answer for women like myself who don’t want to shell out some serious money for a dress they may wear once or twice. The website is loaded with gorgeous options, in many different price ranges that you can try on, and then rent for one week. They even take care of dry cleaning on the return!
Just as easy as renting — you can also rent the dresses that you have hanging in your closet, and make some of that money back that you spent purchasing it in the first place!
Not to mention, Style Lend is addressing a huge fashion problem that we’re all guilty of contributing to, by helping us purchase fewer, better items and sharing them with other local fashionable women, rather than constantly buying cheaper, and even questionably made items. Way to go!

Seriously, best idea ever. I can’t even count the number of dresses I have lying around; I consider it a personal win if they get worn even once a year. Stye Lend allows me to rent out my dresses to other people, which makes me feel a little less guilty when I buy more. ;) The prices are fantastic for designer dresses and purses, and I love how you can both rent and rent out dresses! It’s like RTR… but better.
They have discount codes very often, so be sure to make an account and sign up for their mailing list too!

Definitely the greatest idea I’ve heard in ever! I just feel good when I wear something new and StyleLend has helped me to always get that butterfly at every event/​party! No matter how cute that old dress is, I just cant get the same good feeling I get when I wear it the first time. Now I can always wear a cute new dress without breaking my bank.
The rental process is very convenient and they really take care of their customers. Thank you StyleLend!

I’m currently wondering where Stylend has been all my life. This company is fill a much needed void in the fashion world — Connecting you to other fashion-​loving women so you can benefit from each other’s shopping habits!
The rental process is a breeze, you can arrange things to suit your needs & schedule, the dresses are beautiful, and there are more options daily. I’ll be using Stylend for all my dress needs in the future — Fashion Week, weddings, holidays, vacations, events…

When my friend recommended Stylelend to me a few months ago, I had to try it out. It was quick and easy to set up an account and start renting. All I had to do was pick a dress to rent, provide an address, and they delivered the dress I wanted, along with a few other options, right to my house!
I am in love with StyleLend! It is a great way to earn money by monetizing the dresses just sitting in your closet. As a college student this is the coolest thing because it always helps to have some extra cash. This service also helps me when I have events that require more formal attire. Now I can look like I belong on the red carpet without going over budget. StyleLend is a great option for the college girl looking for that amazing dress without wanting to break the bank. With so many options and sizes online, and some dresses being as low as $ 15, StyleLend is truly the way to go for the fashion-​forward woman.

StyleLend really does give you the full experience of feeling like an A-​List celebrity or a princess without breaking your bank. The website offers up so many styles and sizes, that there is something for everyone. When I first heard of this company, through a friend I went to go check it out and totally love the concept.
As a college student, I don’t necessarily have a huge budget to go out and buy new clothes all the time. That is where StyleLend fits in perfectly. I can rent a gorgeous dress for as low as $ 15 and not have to worry about buying a new dress. They take care of all the deliveries, so you just have to provide your address or a meeting spot and they will deliver your dress and a few other options to you in case the dress you want doesn’t fit.
AS someone who loves designer and fashionable clothes, but doesn’t have the budget for it, this is a god-​send. There’s so many options on the website and the customer service they provide is amazing! It is a must have!

This service will save you sooo much money, while you’re looking better than ever. I’ve used it twice so far. The first dress was a $ 1,500 Burberry and cost me $ 60 to rent. My husband loved seeing me in something new for Valentine’s day, and I loved having access to a dress that would normally be out of my price range, and the fit was insanely good ;)
My second dress was a hot little black and gold body-​con dress. If I got one compliment at my event, I got a hundred. The dress was so attractive and memorable, that if I owned it I don’t think I could have worn it again without having people remember the first time. Now someone else can wear it (I took very good care of it, and they dry-​clean the dresses after each use) and have a similar experience.
The fact that they are local in SF and you can go try on a bunch until you find the right one is amazing. It’s so much faster than going to the mall and a lot more fruitful… especially considering the prices. Your wallet will be full, while you’re soaking in the couture goodness. Do yourself a favor — try it once… that was all it took for me.

Oh my fairy-​godmother-​goodness! Finally a local business for dress sharing.
Completely classy and with true 5 star service, StyleLend is like expanding your network of girlfriends’ closets to borrow from… and we are talking really really exceptionally stylish, high profile girlfriends here.
I was invited to a ritzy LA wedding and needed a dress worthy of the red carpet. After shopping to no avail a savvy friend recommended StyleLend, which — like Fairy Godmother magic — delivered the exact dress I had dreamed of to my doorstep. Amazing! I felt like an A-​list celebrity that night and was later told it left people wondering, «Who was that girl? she had the prettiest dress…»

I literally spend hours trying to find the right dress to wear to an event. Dress shopping stresses me out and I find it a huge waste of time since its so hard to find what I’m looking for!
I wore a dress that I never would have tried on at a store because it was more than I prefer to spend. I would much rather spend money on plane tickets than on an expensive dress that I would only wear a few times. Plus pictures are snapped and posted online at every event. Who wants to be tagged in those shots wearing the same dress over and over??! No thank you!!!
Style Lend made it easy, inexpensive and possible for me to gain exposure to designer brands I would have never thought to try on. The entire experience was seamless and amazing. I received tons of compliments all evening and now understand why some dresses cost so much. Its because the fit and fabric is impeccable! I will definitely use Style Lend again for any occasion I want to look and feel my absolute best.
Girls– this service is legit!
