Our hat rental process is simple and convenient. First, browse our collection online, visit us by appointment or come to one of our pop ups to check the hat works with your outfit. Once you've found the perfect item, select your rental duration, ranging from one day (collection and return within the stated times) or several days. Add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout. Contact us to arrange collection and pick it up when convenient. When you're done, drop back to the studio in the box provided. We take care of cleaning and maintenance but should there be any damage to the hat, such as rain damage we will contact you to discuss costs.
Accidents can happen, and we understand that. Please notify us immediately if you accidentally damage the hat. Hats are very delicate and must not be worn in the rain or be exposed to water damage. Depending on the damage or stain extent, you may incur additional charges, which will be communicated to you. We strongly recommend reviewing our rental agreement for specific terms and conditions regarding damage and stains. We take great care to maintain the quality of our items, so we appreciate your honesty and timely reporting of any issues.
Absolutely! If you rent an item and find that you can't bear to part with it, you can purchase it. Contact us to convert your rental into a purchase. Your rental fees can be applied toward the purchase price, making it an even better deal. Just keep in mind that the item's availability for purchase may vary, so it's a good idea to inquire as soon as you decide to keep it.
No, our rental service only operates as a collection and drop off service in Barnes, SW13 at this time.
We always recommend that you try the hat with your outfit before you commit to a booking because we do not offer a refund for a cancellation of booking within 14 days of hire. If you cannot make it to the studio or one of the pop up stores prior to your hire, we will happily take extra pictures and videos for you so you can check the colour - but nothing is better than seeing it in person.
We understand that one of the benefits of hiring a hat is that it costs less than purchasing a hat outright, so we do not take a deposit. Rather your card will be preauthorised for the full value of the product (as displayed on our product page) to protect us should the hat not be returned at all, returned late or returned in a very poor condition. This authorisation lasts for 7 days. We will communicate with you prior to taking any funds.
