Pickle

Listen up wedding planners: two game-changing hacks: Pickle's Closet Concierge and Mostest

There are "extreme" renters, on-occasion renters, and a lot in between. Pickle is here for them all! Thanks for the shoutout, The Wall Street Journal https://lnkd.in/euuXRREY

We combed through our data to surface the 10 most wanted dresses for wedding guests in our 2024 fashion trends report https://lnkd.in/gVDkpgfF A preview: Acler's Avonlea dress tops the chart, and for good reason: it combines this season’s obsession with icy pastels, a bias for elegance, and the corset revival emerging from this year’s Maison Margiela, MUGLER and Simone Rocha collections. Fun fact: the number of offers on Acler’s dress skyrocketed 300% month-over-month. Tip: if you own Ms. Avonlea (or the other top 9 dresses), list them on Pickle quickly to recoup some of your original purchase price (or even make passive income from it). #acler #arcinaori #realisationpar #christopheresber #faitparfoutch #houseofcb #annaoctober #nanajacqueline Réalisation Par Christopher Esber FAIT PAR FOUTCH House of CB Anna October Nana Jacqueline

Wedding guests spend an average of $600+ per wedding, 25% of which is on attire alone. Meanwhile, brides spend an average of $2,000 on a wedding dress—and that’s one dress. As a guest, four weddings can easily turn into 12 outfits. As a bride-to-be, the wedding can easily turn into 10 outfits—from proposal to honeymoon. The financial burden gets real, fast. We’ve been there, and it’s why we recently launched Pickle’s Closet Concierge. Our Closet Concierge is a complementary service that provides custom-curated rental closets for brides and wedding guests to shop for any wedding-related event. It starts with filling out our intake form (linked below - it takes less than 5 minutes). A few days later, we send you an expertly curated rental closet. Whether it’s a hand-picked assortment of $60/week luxury gowns for the guests of your black-tie wedding or a collection of $40/week looks for your friend’s disco-themed bachelorette party, we’re alleviating the what-do-I-wear stress and cost that comes with wedding season.

I'm excited to share that I've been busy helping grow Pickle, as their Director of Operations! Pickle is using the power of technology to make high-quality fashion more accessible, affordable, and circular, and it’s been rapidly scaling across the US (hence this very delayed post 😅). Just like Airbnb opened up and connected our homes, Pickle is doing the same for our closets: you can rent a Retrofète dress or Prada handbag from someone else’s enviable closet uptown for the weekend and, on the flip side, list an item you already own, making yourself a nice little side hustle by renting it between wears (check out TechCrunch's feature for more: https://lnkd.in/gFEC8zq6). So far this year, I've personally rented Cult Gaia and Alemais dresses for a beach vacation, a (faux!) fur coat for a themed dinner, a Reiss dress for a work event, and another Alemais stunner for a birthday celebration, to name a few. I have 11 (!!) weddings this year, so I'm looking forward to being able to save $$ without compromising on style. At Uber, we were laser focused on creating magical experiences (get ride with a click of a button?!), and it's a similar mindset that's led to Pickle taking off so quickly. The access to incredible pieces at affordable prices - with same day delivery (!!) in our core cities has created nothing short of magic. 👉 To my friends in the US - with summer vacations and wedding season picking up, it's a perfect opportunity to try out Pickle. I'd love to hear what you think! I've added a (free ☺️) download link to the thread ⬇️ PS - We're also hiring! If you know any NYC-based (or willing to relocate) Senior Engineers with founder or early-stage experience, DM me! It's an incredible opportunity to work on a transformational product with the best team. JD in the thread.
