RENTING

LISTING

7 days provides a seamless rental experience from pick up to drop off. Leaving room for styling, traveling, stealing the show in your rental, and returning. You have 7 days from the time you receive the item to when it must be returned to us. If you're returning it by mail, please be sure to factor in shipping time. Longer rental periods are always welcome—just contact our team for help with your reservation.

Longer rental periods are welcome—just reach out to our team and we’ll help with your reservation. Our standard one-week rental is based on a single wear, and we do not offer reduced rates for early returns. We require a 7 day minimum rental.

Our rental calendar opens up to 3 months in advance, and once your request is approved for your selected dates, the item will be reserved for your rental meaning no one else can reserve it for those dates.

We recommend placing your order at least two weeks in advance to ensure timely delivery. Please note that we are not responsible for any shipping delays on orders placed less than six days before your event. However, if an order is placed seven or more days in advance and a shipping delay occurs, a refund may be applicable.

Please note that all rental sales are final, as outlined on our booking page. We strive to ensure the best possible fit for all of our clients. If you’re in Los Angeles, you’re welcome to book an appointment at our Santa Monica shop, where all rentals are available to try on before your rental. For clients outside the LA area, we recommend booking a virtual appointment with one of our stylists, who will help you select a style that fits best.

Because we operate on a consignment model, each item in our store belongs to another member of our rental community. With that said, you’re welcome to make temporary alterations that leave no lasting trace.

You can use the message feature located at the bottom of any listing to chat directly with the lister or our OpenClosit team. We’re also available via email at support@openclosit.com during store hours. We encourage booking a virtual styling appointment if you have specific questions regarding an item(s) online.

If you have requested a rental and are awaiting our team’s approval, you may withdraw your request at any time. Once your rental has been confirmed, we do not offer refunds as our consignment model pays the lister at the time of sale.

Because we operate as a marketplace connecting owners of designer fashion investments with renters, we pay out our consignors at the time of rental and cannot reclaim funds once distributed. In addition to the nature of rentals—ensuring items are worn responsibly and returned in excellent condition—this structure allows you to enjoy access to our shared wardrobe while understanding the terms of renting.

The dry cleaning fee is included in your rental and we take care of the process for you!

We ship anywhere within the US for $12 one way and $20 round trip.

An item must be returned at the end of the 7 day rental period, unless otherwise agreed upon with OpenClosit.

Yes! We accept rental returns by mail, courier, friend, or in person. We just ask that renters return items with care and in a timely manner. The return is ultimately the renter’s responsibility.

If your rental is returned late, a standard 7-day rental fee will be charged to the payment method linked to your account. This is because a late return can disrupt another renter’s reservation. We offer a 24/7 rental dropbox located behind the store for your convenience. If you arrive outside of store hours, you can simply place your return in the dropbox to ensure it’s returned on time.

If your item is returned damaged, or not returned at all, a partial or full damage deposit will be charged. In cases where the damage or loss exceeds the value of the deposit, you may be held responsible for the full cost of the rented items.

We offer a curated selection of designer pieces, popular among our frequent renters who are shopping for weddings, award shows, upscale events, and private parties. Whether it’s a black-tie affair or a fun night out, our collection provides elevated options for every occasion.

We authorize damage deposits on each of our items to ensure items are properly cared for and returned in a timely fashion. The damage deposit is charged to your account at the time of your purchase.

If paying with a credit card, a hold will be placed on your account. You will see a charge and a hold on your account. The hold will be released once your rental is successfully returned on time and without damages.

If paying with a debit card, your account will acquire 2 charges. The damage deposit will be returned to your account once your rental is successfully returned on time and without damages.

We are appointment-based, and require bookings to try on items in-store. You can schedule online in advance, or stop by the shop—appointments are often available with as little as 5 minutes notice.

Your appointment includes dedicated styling support—from dress code guidance and assistance trying on gowns to personalized accessory styling, plus a consultation on availability for your event dates. A $45 appointment fee ensures each piece is carefully handled during your fitting, and the fee is applied toward any rental booked that day. Our goal is for you to leave feeling fully styled and event-ready.
