Launched by Maitreyee L and Shruti K, the website, which will be launched in June, will retail dresses at a good deal and allow you to rent them. You could save as much as 75 per cent of the dress’ value.
Sourcing secrets
The 25-year-old entrepreneurs, both MBA graduates from JBIMS, have been on the hunt for the perfect dresses for their collection for months. Apart from scouring e-commerce portals and local boutiques, the duo also managed to get hold of a few pre-owned outfits thanks to their Facebook page Sell Your Style.
“We often spend far too much money on clothes that are not worn more than twice. This is what made us think of both PinQRock as well as Sell Your Style,” reveals Maitreyee, who got quite a response from Mumbai’s fashionistas, glad to redeem at least part of what they had spent on their designer wear.
Cleaned, pressed and delivered
Once you have chosen your dress, it takes them about three to four days to get it delivered to you. If you have chosen to rent the outfit, they will have it picked up from you too. “All you have to do is return it to us carefully in the bag you received it in. We will take care of the dry cleaning and so on,” assures Maitreyee.
Keen to cater to a variety of sizes, Maitreyee adds that their collection includes small, medium and large. “Prices, which average at Rs 3,000, will vary according to whether the dress you pick is designer wear or non-branded,” she adds.
PinQRock’s collection can be found on their Facebook and Instagram page (PinQRock)
