Eight hours into meticulously altering the bodice of a bridesmaid dress, I realized the gown would spend more time in alterations than adorning the wearer. That moment sparked a revelation – bridesmaid and formal dresses are meant to be rented, not purchased. These costly, labor-intensive garments, often crafted from polyester, are typically worn for a mere eight hours before being relegated to the depths of closets, attics, or thrift store racks.
But where was the platform for bridesmaid and formal dresses to be resold, recycled, and rented for their next life?
It didn't exist. So I built it.
At revu, we're on a mission to disrupt the bridesmaid and formalwear industry. Our vision is to honor the countless hours of craftsmanship poured into sourcing, designing, and creating formal and bridesmaid dresses. How? By extending their lifespan. We've created a platform where these exquisite garments can be shared, recycled, and worn again, ensuring they fulfill their full potential and bring joy to countless wearers.
Join us in redefining the way we approach special occasion attire.
