Clarissima in Sri Hartamas, KL
Let’s be honest. Most of us are probably guilty of buying a formal outfit only to wear it once and shut it away in our closet indefinitely later.
But there’s just something about wearing a beautiful, expensive dress to an important occasion – and it’s even better if you get to pay only a fraction of the outfit’s original price and forgo the guilt that comes with wondering if you’ll ever wear it again.
If this describes you, check out Clarissima. This new luxury clothing rental service in KL has an inventory of clothes and accessories from designer brands that you can rent at a fraction of their original retail prices.
Psst – you’ll want to read till the end to find out how you can get 40% off your first glam rental.
Luxury fashion rental service in KL
Tucked away in Plaza Damas, above Hartamas Shopping Centre, Clarissima is a new spot that lets you rent luxury clothes, whether you’re dressing up for a black-tie event or just want to channel that rich girl energy on your city outing.
Here, you’ll find everything from sky-high heels to elegant clutches, and that one dress guaranteed to steal the spotlight at any occasion. If you’ve ever dreamed of strutting into a soirée in a Balmain dress or having your own main character moment in a lavish Versace number without the financial aftermath, you’ll be in luck here.
Clarissima’s curated collection of over 100 designer pieces reads like a who’s-who of high fashion – think Gucci, Balenciaga, and Jimmy Choo – but without the full-commitment price tag. Renting gives you the freedom to experiment with your style, try bold silhouettes, and effortlessly switch up your look.
Fashion comes in all shapes and sizes. Clarissima offers pieces ranging from UK size 4 to 14, so there’ll be options to choose from, whether you’re looking for a midi dress or a lavish full-length gown.
Try it before you own it
We get it. Dropping five figures on a sparkly dress or a shiny pair of heels can feel unhinged in this economy. That’s why Clarissima decided to flip the script with their try-it-before-you-buy system.
With them, you can now see how a Valentino gown plays with your curves before going all in with your hard-earned money.
There’s no reason not to test-drive your dream glamour ‘fit over your next free weekend and see if it gives you main character energy. Clarissima’s showroom is open seven days a week, with no appointment needed to try on its collection and find the perfect rental look for any memorable occasion.
The showroom itself is a vibe too, thanks to the interior magic of Dato’ Ar. Nafisah Radin from NR Design Group. Soft lighting, glossy display cabinets, and plush corners whisper “champagne served here” – in line with the brand’s focus on elegance and empowerment.
If you’re the kind of person who worries about the cleanliness of rental clothes, fret not. Every piece at Clarissima is professionally dry-cleaned upon each return and then given an extra kiss of sanitisation with an in-store Samsung AirDresser.
This luxe machine steam-purifies clothes to showroom-fresh perfection. Even pieces tried on go through this glam spa treatment before they’re passed into your hands to rent and wear.
If you prefer shopping online, Clarissima’s website has the same collection as in stores for your added shopping convenience. The listing description for each piece includes detailed measurements, alongside materials and original retail prices, so you can see how much of a deal you’re getting by opting to rent.
