Read MoreOnloan is the culmination of a very unlikely duo: Tamsin and Natalie who had previously zero professional common ground. Tamsin worked in finance whilst Natalie worked creatively in fashion.
The unexpectedness of their collaboration is the fuel that drives Onloan to build the future of fashion. It’s one of the only platforms that actually supports designers by buying stock across current and past seasons. They are not peer-to-peer like most of their competitors but invest in designers to support their long-term creative vision and ultimately the industry as a whole. In doing so they keep clothes in circulation preventing fashion wastage.
