It was seen as a more  cost-effective and sustainable alternative to shopping.   Several new British companies launched, loaning luxury clothes and accessories, and reporting exponential growth in their first years of trading.  H&M and Ganni were among the first retailers to begin trialling a rental model back in 2019, while several new platforms including  Hurr Collective  and  My Wardrobe HQ  have launched pop-ups in department stores over the past year.  Then the lockdown happened, shops shuttered, events cancelled, diaries cleared.
