The Best Handbag Rental Sites
1. Front Row London
Taglined as ‘the UK’s destination for luxury-on-loan’, Front Row was launched back in 2016 as an invite-only rental platform stocking some of the biggest designer labels in the world. While the latter sentiment still remains the same (if Prada, Loewe and Valentino are your bar, you’re in the right place), the platform is now open to everyone who wants to try renting their wardrobe.

2. Anya Hindmarch Rental
British accessories brand Anya Hindmarch has just launched its very own rental platform, with a curated selection of hero designs, new pieces and archived favourites from past seasons. The service, which encourages users to rent their bag of choice for the night, also offers the chance to buy each rented item secondhand afterwards – for a fraction of the usual retail price.

4. Naru Studios
Eco-conscious handbag brand Naru Studios is known for its commitment to sustainable practices – from using only renewable, recylable and biodegradable materials to making all items locally in London and offering guides to clean and restore its vegetable tanned leather – but now the brand is taking things a step further with its own rental platform. The move makes Naru the first accessories manufacturer in the UK to offer the choice to rent as well as buy products directly from its website.

5. Cocoon
This London-based rental site offers a variety of membership plans. Pay either monthly or quarterly, and you’ll have access to bags for a week at a time. Each bag you can hold for up to three months, and on the more deluxe membership plans, you can exchange your bag for a new one when you’re ready for a wardrobe update.
