fashion-and-trendsUpdated: Aug 17, 2020 08:41 ISTSelfridges & Co. is offering fashion items for rent in a bid to attract younger and ecologically minded customers at a challenging time for U.K. retail. The luxury department store has teamed up with HURR, an online fashion rental platform, to offer 100 items from more than 40 fashion brands for hire for up to 20 days at a time. Selfridges also plans to sell a selection of vintage clothing for six weeks from the end of September, building on a secondhand clothing concession it launched with online reseller Vestiaire Collective last year. Shoppers can also sell used accessories to the store for credit from mid-October. E-commerce sites like Depop and Poshmark Inc. have popularized selling used clothing online.
