In New York, many people list things at a certain age and scale, she said, in addition to it may be more difficult for those who wear larger sizes to find items. Pickle told Wired they are working to solve this problem by cooperating with creators, influential people and tastes on a variety of body types and aesthetics.
Erickson's wedding is about to take place, and she is considering hiring her bride accessories, mainly in an effort to make environmental conscious choices. When I bought something new, it was considered and I wanted it for a long time, so I used it for more interesting items or disposable cases, she said. I definitely like its round fashion aspect. She said that she did not encounter any negative stigma around her choice to hire instead of buying, but she assigned it to The popularity of unnecured rental platforms like Rent the Runway.
The financial burden of attending the wedding is also what has attracted Brooklyn residents, Jane Kim, 35, to Pickle. I don't want to buy another sand dress, Kim said, who was the bridesmaid in the wedding of many friends. I spent $ 600 on beige sand dresses. She also hired her own clothes, and earned about $ 200 a month on the platform.
Although Pickle's choice has a lot of high -end fashion, this platform welcomes any item on demand, regardless of its price or brand, including low -cost products from brands such as Urban Outfitters and Edikted. The lenders have the highest income, lenders, who list their items for rent, earn more than $ 3,000 monthly in 2024. Pickle decreased by 20 % per transaction.
Pickle plans to expand inventories, the first is men's clothes, and eventually go beyond the space of clothes and accessories.
Yoodlize, a Utah -based application, operates near three universities, allowing users to rent a party utensils (prominent houses, tables and chairs), tools (brick cutting machines, truly high elevators), electronic devices (cameras, PA systems, karaoke machines) and outdoor sports equipment.
Jason Fairbourne, CEO and founder of Yoodlize, said we had a fairly wide distribution, but we felt like we were building this to gene X, gene Z, Millennials, according to Mr. Jason Fairbourne, CEO and founder of Yoodlize. Our largest demographics are still in university or high school at this time. Therefore, we are trying to build for the future.
Yoodlize average lease transaction is $ 50 and its leading user earn from $ 10,000 to 15,000 a year. Delivery mechanism is determined by buyers and sellers on the basis of each case. Yoodlize resolves a 10 percent fee for both the buyer and the seller of the transaction.
By reducing the demand for products spent most of their lives occupy the space, the peer -to -peer rental model attracts both environmental and economic concerns. Why does every house have a lawn mower? Why do people own this $ 600 machine that you rarely use? Fairbourne said.
Similar platforms include BabyQuip, serving children's products, kitsplit, specialized in electronics and FAT LLAMA, where you can hire anything from the construction machine to the wedding station context.
Both Yoodlize and Pickle hope to build a strong national user base and want to change the cultural standards around consumer, so even those who do not have a tight budget feels tend to rent instead of buying.
Sometimes, it is a kind of pain. Once, a courier ringed the doorbell at 1 am to return an item that she hired through pickle, when the application estimated that it would be returned before 8 pm. “There were times when I liked it, this was not worth 40 dollars I was doing.” But some users who are aware of the environment can endure the inconvenience if that means against excessive consumption: It is good to make me feel less guilty of what I owned, Kim said.
