LK Bennet launches rental clothing service

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

LK Bennett has announced a new rental clothing service for a flat monthly fee of £79, in which members can receive two items in their first box and can make unlimited box exchanges with free shipping both ways.

Each month, the customer will be able to rent two RTW products at a time with up to eight swaps throughout this period, and each piece will be available in sizes 8-16.

The pieces are designed in-house by the retailer’s London-based team taking inspirations from vintage archive prints and are crafted in factories across Europe and the Far East.

Darren Topp, CEO, LK Bennett, said: “We believe this new rental offering will attract a new customer base to LKB, as it will satisfy those seeking a more sustainable way of shopping.

“We don’t see this replacing core e-commerce, but rather complementing it and adding choice. Rental will allow customers who can’t afford or don’t want to spend the amount required to own an LKB item to wear an LKB outfit for a special occasion.”

He added: “If they’re already an LKB fan, this service enables them to rotate their wardrobe regularly and get fresh items for their everyday wardrobe.”
