Love Me Rent Me was founded in Dunedin, New Zealand in 2015 by Karen, a mum of four, with a simple goal, to create a business that felt meaningful for her and her customers. What started as a small idea has grown into one of New Zealand’s most loved and trusted dress rental boutiques, with a carefully curated collection designed to suit a wide range of styles and occasions.
Every piece is chosen with intention. We believe the right dress should make you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.
Today, Love Me Rent Me is proudly run as a mother and daughter team, bringing together experience, fresh ideas, and a genuine love for helping customers find the perfect dress.
Karen & Ella are known for the care they put into every hire.
"We don’t just rent dresses — we love being a small part of helping you create special memories. It genuinely makes us smile knowing we’ve helped you feel happy, confident, and good in what you’re wearing"
Our Approach to Sustainability
Our goal is simple: buy better, make pieces last longer, and help reduce unnecessary overproduction, without compromising on style or the experience. We see this as a partnership with our customers, because the care you take when wearing our pieces helps ensure they can be enjoyed again by the next person. Together, we keep beautiful dresses in circulation and doing what they’re meant to do: making memories.
Thank you for 11 years of Memories x Love Me Rent Me
