The standard hire period is 3 days or over a weekend (Friday to Monday). For any day over this period, there is an additional charge of £10 per day.

Yes. We maintain a strict quality control process on all hire stock and ensure that it is dry cleaned between rental periods.

Especially during busy periods, we may take up to 4 days to prepare a hire order. Please leave sufficient time before your event to book a hire order with us. For large wedding or corporate orders, we recommend booking at least one month in advance.

At present, we are not offering delivery for hire items. At checkout, you will be able to select one of our stores for collection. This allows you the opportunity to try on your garments when you visit so that we can ensure everything fits properly.

We have plenty of hire stock available at each of our locations, and we encourage customers to try on their hire garments upon collection. If you find that any part of your hire does not fit as expected, it is usually not a problem to swap sizes immediately for you.

Payment is taken in full at the time you place your order. There is no need to leave a security deposit upon collection. If your circumstances change, or you need to cancel your order, we offer a full refund up to 48 hours before your booking begins.

All of our stores in London and Chester accept walk-in hire bookings and carry all sizes in our hire clothing. If you require a same-day hire, our City of London store (where our warehouse is located) has the largest stock quantities.

Yes, you are welcome to place your order at any of our locations (or online) and collect / return your items at any of our stores.
