Here’s How To Make Money From The Clothes You Never Wear.
Ladies, I hope you all have two hands up.
For most of you, this paradox is all too familiar.
You’re acutely aware of the devastating effect it has on your wallet—and storage problems—but do you ever stop to consider what it’s doing to the environment?

Sellers can make cash from their rentals and buyers can save cash by renting the garment for a fraction of the cost.
