Brittany Haas, Co-Founder of Something Borrowed New York, tells us how she got started in her own business through personal experience!"Back in 2010, I entered a Daily Candy contest that challenged women to create a business for other women. I have three older sisters who each were frustrated by the expensive costs of bridal gowns and accessories; something they could only wear for one day of their lives. Even after their wedding, they tried to sell their gowns and were unsuccessful. After seeing their luxury goods hang in their hallways, collect dust and become unusable, I decided there must be a better way. Women should have the ability to rent their attire for the night and still look gorgeous with luxury items, but stay with their budget. It’s about staying within your means while giving the appearance that you spent much more. I ended up being a runner-up in that Daily Candy contest - and was urged by other female entrepreneurs to pursue the concept as they'd all be future customers!"
"Today, “Something Borrowed NY” is the
premiere online wedding shop that RENTS designer bridal accessories at a fraction of the retail price! We know that after your wedding there is really no use for your tiara (unless you’re Kate Middleton), and that most of us don’t have the space to store yards of tulle and crystal baubles. We’re modern women who love fashion and aspire to wear gorgeous things on our special day. But we don’t necessarily value the possession of a one-time wear item. Partnering with designers such as “Enchanted Atelier” & “Justine M. Couture”, we’ve curated a special collection of veils, tiaras, headpieces and jewelry to “frost yourself” with for your special day. Any minor damages are covered (please, no red velvet cake fights) and after you’re done, just ship it back to us and we’ll clean and preserve it for the next savvy bride!"
