Retail Apparel and FashionIllinois, United States1 Employees
DesignerShare operates as a peer-to-peer marketplace within the retail apparel and fashion sector, enabling women to rent designer clothing and accessories from one another. The service addresses the desire for access to high-end fashion without ownership, facilitating a system where users can borrow items through a shared economy model. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the company emphasizes its platform as a direct marketplace between individuals rather than a traditional retailer or rental house. The firm positions itself in the fashion rental space alongside other consumer-focused players, expanding its scope through partnerships such as with Tide Cleaners to handle delivery and dry-cleaning logistics for rented items. The user base is focused on women seeking temporary access to designer garments and accessories, with the value proposition lying in convenient, peer-supported sharing of wardrobe assets.
