Cari’s
Closet, the go-to luxury lend boutique in Malahide, hosted the official launch
party of its new bigger store recently. Most girls dream of wearing designer
dresses but many can never afford to. Cari's Closet is a dress hire shop
full of designer and vintage collectibles all for rent at just a fraction of
the retail price.
Born from
a love of fashion, Cari’s Closet offer red carpet and occasion wear looks
without the enormous price tag. The concept is simple you borrow, wear
and return the dress and the store takes care of alterations and
cleaning!
The
spacious store was designed by the owner Lisa Duffy (named after her daughter
Cari) with custom made fitting rooms and furnishings, ornate chandeliers and
bespoke handmade seating. Cari's Closet
also sells dresses if you rent and then fall in love with a dress. Brands
offered to customers on hire include Herve Leger, Alexander McQueen, Roland
Mouret, Badgley Mischka, DVF, Sass and Bide, Jovani, Sherri Hill and La Femme
to name but a few.
