A night out on the town has just become more affordable with the launch of online service www.onceclothing.com.au dedicated to the hire of designer clothing.
 
Created by friends Danielle Hankey and Melissa Chen, Once Designer Clothing Hire is a specialised service that hires out designer dresses at a fifth of the price it would cost to purchase the same items in retail stores from Australian designers and brands including Alex Perry, Natasha, Amber&Thomas, Magali Pascal and Ruth Tarvydas.
 
“We are extremely excited about the launch of Once Designer Clothing Hire,” said Chen.
 
“In these times of recovery from the global financial crisis and with environmental concerns being in the forefront of everyone’s mind, the availability of hiring a designer outfit for a special occasion or for a night out on the town, at a fraction of the price of purchasing a new outfit makes the site an extremely exciting venture.
 
“We are committed to building relationships with many of the country’s top design houses and maintaining our current relationships to offer the latest in seasonal collections.” she concluded.
 
Clothes can be ordered online from the website or appointments can be made to view the collections at a showroom in Bondi Beach. Delivery usually takes two to three working days to arrive.
