This chic side hustle is gaining traction: Renting out your clothes (www.ctvnews.ca)

Emilie Nasseh, a 30-year-old living in Manhattan, has made up to US$2,000 a month through an unconventional side hustle: renting her clothes and accessories.

Nasseh uses Pickle, a peer-to-peer clothing rental app where users share their wardrobes for profit. Some lenders may also list their clothes for sale. Among Nasseh’s most popular rentals were handbags, including a Chanel mini wallet that has been rented out nearly every week over the past year.

“I’m very happy to allow others to use items in my closet who haven’t had availability to that luxury. I’m not using (the item), so it’s kind of a win-win scenario for everyone,” she said, noting that she may make $500 during a slow month.

Couldn't we just buy stuff from stores and then return them after using them once?
