What Can't You Rent?

There is an app for everything.  We've said that on a number of occasions.  Nowadays it seems there is a rental business for everything. And since the peer-to-peer rental market is worth $26 billion, we have no choice but to believe it's the new norm.  Obviously that excites us since it proves a theory we at Tulerie stand behind: people value access over ownership. Rent the Runway, Uber and AirBnb are the biggest shared economies, but it doesn't end there.  You can rent ski clothing through KitLender, jewelry through Switch, a Rolex through ElevenJames, baby gear through Babierge, baby clothes at MiaBellaBabies, a car through Turo, an assistant through Task Rabbit, office space through WeWork - an exhaustive list!

The newest concept to enter the rental marketplace sounds questionable at first but hear us out, we think it's pretty genius. Routinely rents workout clothes and sneakers.  They save the day when you've forgotten to pack something, don't have room in your suitcase or when your schedule opens up leaving you with the perfect workout window. In four easy steps you can have a quality workout kit delivered to you anywhere in NYC within a couple hours.  You can even have it delivered directly to the SLT you're headed to.  How convenient is that? Our favorite part is that they carry brands we love - Lululemon, Nike, Outdoor Voices, Adidas, Under Armor and Rhone.  We have to admit to liking the idea of putting that sweaty sports bra into a FedEx bag rather than our Sac du Jour.
