23) How We Can Make Rental More Sustainable with Eshita Kabra of ByRotation

Is fashion rental actually sustainable? Are there ways to make it more sustainable? This episode is a deep dive into the various elements of the fashion rental system.

In this episode, I'll also interview Eshita Kabra-Davies, the founder and CEO of the world's first social fashion rental app, By Rotation.

Eshita is sharing:

• How By Rotation's peer-to-peer rental model works,
• How peer-to-peer sharing models can be more sustainable than an inventory-based renting model,
• And her perspectives on that viral study that inspired those "throwing away your clothes is greener than renting them" headlines.
