About The Borrowed
The Borrowed is an exclusive online South Asian rental platform designed for the modern, fashion- forward woman with a love for fashion. Founded by two best friends who saw an opportunity to redefine South Asian luxury fashion through accessibility and sustainability; The Borrowed offers a meticulously curated selection of South Asian designer clothing for life’s most memorable occasions. Inspired by their love of South Asian craftsmanship and the reality of only wearing high-end pieces once or twice, these founders sought to close the gap between traditional luxury shopping habits and the needs of today’s independent, consumer-savvy women; helping women unlock value from their wardrobes whilst promoting sustainable fashion.
The Borrowed fosters a vibrant community of forward thinkers, celebrating emerging artists and designers who are reshaping the landscape of South Asian fashion. Embracing the elegance of timeless style with the ease of rental, The Borrowed allows women to make bold, sustainable fashion statements without compromise.
