H&M has officially joined the clothing rental game. The fast
fashion brand has reopened its Stockholm Sergels Torg flagship after a
major refurbishment, and with it, the pilot of the company’s clothing

Customers can rent up to three items at a time at a cost of 350
Swedish kronor or 37 dollars per piece.
“We are really excited to try out rentals for the first time and
inspire our customers to look at fashion in a circular way,” Maria

commitment to recycling and sustainability. The store includes an
atelier that features repair services to mend or upgrade garments as
well as an H&M Beauty Bar by Dashl offering hair, nails and makeup
services.
