Pickle’s Post

We couldn’t help but notice the several brands “breaking” Pickle with their skyrocketing demand for wedding guest season. Over the past couple of months, rental offers spiked for brands like Acler (+300%), Zimmermann (+257%), Amanda Uprichard  (+214%), Asta Resort (+152%), Anna October (+110%), and more.

Our co-founder and COO, Julia O'Mara, joins Natalie Abboud’s She Ventures Forward podcast to discuss everything from resisting the need for external validation when starting a business, to how she and Brian McMahon bring their D1 athlete mentality to growing Pickle, to how the Pickle community—unapologetically cheesy but true—motivates and uplifts her (and so many other women!).  It’s an inspiring listen—Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gURggQ7V Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/g97Ht-Hz #femalefounder #vc #fashion #marketplace #fashionmarketplace #ecommerce #recommerce #startup #pickle

"We’ve all grown up borrowing clothes from friends and family, but that habit hasn’t really extended beyond college. We want Pickle to be a true extension of your closet.” — Our co-founder and COO, Julia O'Mara, chats with Victoria Smith of Interwoven Stories, diving into not just the “why” behind creating Pickle, but also the on-demand convenience mindset she and our co-founder Brian McMahon were channeling—think: last-minute dinner in 3 hours…how can you get an outfit ASAP without buying new or stopping by Zara after work for something you’d wear once or twice? (Enter the true extension of your closet!). Julia also highlights the importance, as a founder, of understanding the intricacies of the end user firsthand—like she and Brian taking over 4,000 subway rides to hand-deliver rentals.

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.
