Costumes Collected
Costumes Collected was born out of a deep love for vintage items and materials, driven by a commitment to sustainability and admiration for exquisite vintage pieces. Our goal is to ensure that these historical garments don't fade into obscurity but instead shine on the silver screen, offering an accurate portrayal of bygone eras. We believe it's crucial that these old pieces not only endure but are actively used to bring the rich tapestry of history to life. With our extensive costume collection, we provide filmmakers and creative minds with the means to depict historical periods with authenticity and precision. At Costumes Collected, each selection is carefully curated. Every item undergoes a meticulous process of hand selection, refurbishment, and thorough cleaning to ensure it is in optimal condition. In this way, we aim to preserve and pass on the beauty and stories behind each piece to future generations.
Pay - as - you - borrow
We follow a straightforward pay-as-you-borrow guideline. For each item, there's a fixed fee for renting, with a minimal rental period of one month. You're only charged for the days you borrow, ensuring you're not tied to any long-term commitments. This approach allows for worry-free renting, empowering you to craft the perfect image for your audience without any unnecessary constraints.
