Angela Pike from Lucida Boutique Dress Hire chats about the prevalence of "wear once culture" and the transformative role of rental in fashion. She shares her sustainability strategies, from utilising eco-friendly packaging to eliminating plastic, and discusses how she curates trendsetting pieces with sustainability in mind. Through heartfelt anecdotes, Angela reveals the transformative power of conscious consumerism, shedding light on how Lucida Boutique is reshaping the future of fashion, one rented dress at a time.

Guest bio:

Hi, I’m Ange, creator and owner of lucida boutique - a dress hire boutique is Ballarat Victoria. In 2019 I created a beautiful and inviting space where women can browse through an extensive and ever-changing range of designer dresses. Women hire the dress they choose, wear it to their special event and then return to the boutique. The process is personalised, stress-free, affordable and environmentally conscious.
