Clothes rental - helping to reduce textile waste, greenhouse gas emissions and water footprint
Description
Tale Me is the first European dressing room to rent clothing for maternity (pregnancy and breastfeeding) and babies/children from 0 to 6 years old. Two periods of life during which clothes are worn for a very short time. Rather than buying, accumulating, or throwing away, Tale Me offers the opportunity to rent clothes. This is a new way of consumption in an ethical and sustainable way as well as being fashionable and trendy.
