About Manusia RENT

About Our Rental Collection

The items for Manusia RENT can be worn to many different occasions. We tried to sample a collection with evening wear, outfits that you can wear to a birthday, a brunch with friends, a date night - you name it!

All the clothing items are either second-hand (have been worn before) or are from curated brands that we want to support.

Our Pop-Ups are self-service, meaning you can take the garment including he hanger and a garment bag with you after successful payment.

Simply rent - Enjoy! Wear your rental clothes with pride and care. Also don't forget to send us a cute picture and to tag us.

P.S.: If you’re at one of our Pop-Ups, you can help yourself to a garment bag and a hanger and take the product with you after successful payment.

Sustainable Dry Cleaning

You don't have to worry about dry-cleaning the item! As soon as you return the item, we will make sure to get the item ready for our next customer. We work with the dry-cleaner Öko-Textil who has decades of experience in cleaning clothes in a sustainable manner. Instead of using the conventional, toxic dry-cleaning method, they use an innovate & sustainable method called wet washing.

Pilot Project

Market research – At Manusia we try to find the best way possible to deliver clothing with a positive impact, both on the community and the environment. In cooperation with the FHNW we conducted a Swiss-wide market survey to analyze the demand for rental fashion and due to the positive feedback, we have further developed our business model to a rental model.

Rental business model – This business model is a concept where you can affordably rent trendy fashion items for a limited period. Through such a model, you can dress yourself with a variety of clothing for special occasions while making a positive environmental impact and reducing waste by prolonging the lifecycle of each dress we provide.

Testing – We would like to test out this business model and see whether you all like it. This also means that we are starting very small and would love to grow into a brand with excellent customer experience.

If you like our concept, have new ideas or have brands that you would love to wear but can't afford, please send us an email.
