Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money

36 GBP a month for 10 items of kids clothes? That’s 432 GBP a year. I’d think you could easily buy many more than 10 items of clothes for that amount and other than kids under 3 I don’t think you’d need to replace them more than annually.

The subscription's 10 items per month, not per year, and return the next month. Babies outgrow really quickly when they're young.

According to Or Collective’s website, I have saved £640 over the past two months. Not that I would have ever spent that much - the clothes I borrow from brands such as Bobo Choses and Tinycottons are much pricier than I’d ever be able to justify, which is part of the service’s appeal. My daughter is far better dressed than I am as a result. That said, you can buy them at a reduced price if you become particularly attached.

  Yeah I could see it for very young babies where you may need to change things every few months. But after 2-3 years old I don’t see it making sense.
