APRIL HIGHLIGHT: BLANQO
This season, I hit the slopes in a rented ski onesie and helmet from Blanqo; No need to invest in bulky gear we need to store for 52 weeks a year (Londoners, ya feel me), plus I got to experiment with a more bold, snow-stopping lewk I might not usually invest in.
Research estimates that, on average, renting one piece of clothing can save up to 24% water, 6% energy, and 3% CO2 emissions, when compared to buying a new item. So from the slopes to soirées, planet-friendly renting keeps it stylish, simple, and sustainable - no strings (or storage) attached.
