Swished

Swished is an online platform built around the concept of clothing rental, facilitating a more sustainable approach to fashion. It offers a wide range of items for hire and connects people who want to rent their clothes with those who want temporary access to high quality, trendy clothing. Renting items through Swished is a simple process. Customers can choose to rent for pre-set periods of 4, 8, 12 or 18 days and the cost of shipping the item to the customer is usually included in the rental price. Swished places a strong emphasis on the safety of its community and requires users to provide ID and proof of address. The platform offers a ‘Stress-Free Renting’ option, which covers the cost of repairs up to a certain amount, providing additional peace of mind for renters. All cleaning responsibilities fall to the owner of the item, reducing the risk of mishandling or damage. Swished prides itself on a fair and transparent rental policy. For example, if customers change their minds about a rental, they can contact the item’s lister directly to discuss possible refunds, subject to a small administration fee.
