A
t some point in our lives, most of us have experienced that moment of having an event to attend but feeling like you have nothing to wear, don’t want to spend money on something new or just aren’t in the mood to visit a dozen shops or websites to find something that works. Enter So Me Collective, a new fashion-focused business in Mallorca that offers a range of beautiful dresses, stylish outfits and accessories for short-term rental.
Launched by Carly Jack in late 2023, the inspiration for So Me Collective came when Carly was in Cape Town to attend two weddings and extended events but had only a small suitcase and therefore, nothing to wear. Buying several outfits was out of the question, but renting outfits was not. Introduced by a friend to a local company that rents out dresses and outfits for all sorts of occasions, Carly quickly saw the potential of bringing this concept back to Mallorca, where she has been living with her family since 2016.
Clothing rental, particularly for special events, has a big following in London and in several cities in the United States, but remains relatively new in Spain, if not across all of Europe. The So Me Collective website makes it easy to search by occasion – from weddings to girl’s night out – and the process is simple, using DHL shipping service across Mallorca and all of Spain for a specific amount of days, and you don’t even have to dry clean it before sending it back.
