It’s official! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our South Asian rental collection in partnership with Aayka Fashion, a female-founded brand known for its modern, artisanal, and luxe-yet-accessible South Asian occasion wear—featured in Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and beyond. The Pickle x Aayka collection includes 30 unique styles, each crafted by Aayka’s first-generation South Asian founders. Every choice—from functionality and color palette to materials—was made with fashion-forward twenty- to forty-somethings in mind, while keeping cultural authenticity and respect at the forefront. Think no-fuss pre-pleated saris, travel-friendly lehengas, bold, vibrant fabrics, and adjustable, body-inclusive silhouettes. Plus, there’s jewelry and coordinating sets for couples. It’s all available at Pickle’s West Village store or in-app, with rentals starting at less than $150/week. The TL;DR ‘why’ behind our partnership? We couldn’t ignore the growing demand in our respective communities (no matter their background) for South Asian occasion wear rentals. We heard the shared sentiment: excitement about the fashion, but uncertainty about where to start—what to wear, how to style it, and the costs, especially for one-time outfits. That’s where the Pickle x Aayka collection comes in. It’s all about making high-quality, modern South Asian fashion more accessible, affordable, and easy to navigate.

The future of the fashion side hustle is very much here with Pickle. “With the rise of resale, customers now buy clothes safe in the knowledge that they can resell them at a later date to make up to 80-100% of their value back. But with peer-to-peer rental, they can make back up to 200% or more of the value of the clothing.” – Danny Parisi, Sr. Fashion Reporter, Glossy https://lnkd.in/gxZJJiFJ

"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.
