Why We Do It
One of the biggest frustrations as a parent is buying beautiful clothes that your child quickly out grows, only having worn a few more times.
The constant need to update their wardrobe in time with their very quick growth can be stressful, overwhelming, and for many families, not financially possible.
Whether it be for weddings, birthdays, special occasions, or just a day where you’d like to take a smiling photo of your little one all dressed up, at Kids Runway Hire, we believe that all parents should have equal opportunity to access high quality, beautiful, designer brands for their children in a way that is easy, affordable and hassle-free.
By hiring clothing, rather than purchasing, you’re saving time, space, and engaging in a significantly more sustainable practice than constantly purchasing clothes that for kids, are only as good as long as they’re that same size.
As mothers, we’ve been through it all ourselves! And treasure the opportunity to make parenthood just that bit easier for you and your family.
MEET OUR FOUNDERS
Nat
Our partner with a background in Building and Construction together with her Diploma in Building and Construction, Nat was working as a project manager for 7 years before becoming a mum. Though her true passion is with architecture and design, she's also a big lover of fashion.
Becoming a mum of 3 and wanting all the best designer brands for her kids, (with those price tags) they just seemed a little out of reach. Not to mention the fact that you have to update their wardrobes every year.
Nat wanting designer brands to be easily accessible and affordable for parents all over Australia, is what brought this idea to life!
Danche
Danche is our fashion partner with an Associate Degree in Fashion and Textiles. Her background is with fashion houses Gucci, Zhivago and Ellery.
After having her mind set on becoming a Fashion Designer and having her own label, becoming a mum of 2 girls changed her path.
Realising how fast your child grows and grows out of their clothing is what gave Danche this Business Idea. An idea to help mums just like us all over Australia!
OUR LIGHTBULB MOMENT
The Wedding
There's nothing like planning a big Macedonian wedding, especially when it's for your brother/brother in-law! Getting ready for this day in 2021 brought upon hours and hours of online searching for the perfect outfits for our children. Of course there are cheaper alternatives, but for family weddings we want the best. Only to find that the best costs hundreds of dollars, for ONE day! In our eyes it just wasn't worth it, and we know so many parents that feel the same way.
Somehow one day while both scrolling online, we simultaneously happened to have the same idea - why isn't there a hire store for designer kids clothing? - Light Bulb Moment!!
After realising we shared the same idea, we decided to partner up and put our idea out there for all of Australia. The first high end designer hire boutique for children. After all, there are so many hire boutiques for women, the same options should be there for our children. Who doesn't want their little ones decked out in Dolce and Gabbana or Versace without paying an arm and a leg?! And that's how Kids Runway Designer Hire came to life.
