How Borro Began
Hi I'm Sarah, the Founder of Borro!
It all started with cloth nappies! My first born was a few months old and I’d started to be more concerned about my environmental impact (plus they look so cute!). I was worried that he would turn to me in twenty years and ask why I hadn’t done anything about the climate crisis. So I started with the nappies, then cloth wipes, then shampoo and soap bars, a metal razor, a wooden washing up brush…. But it didn’t feel like enough.
Then I watched the Minimalism documentary and something clicked. At the time I was drowning in cheap plastic toys and cheap baby clothes. I realized that I needed to make a change and it wasn’t so much about what eco things I bought, it was about what I didn’t buy. I started to declutter and I loved the freedom and clarity it bought. I donated/sold a lot of my clothes and really enjoyed having a capsule wardrobe and not buying new.
But it wasn’t so easy when it came to my son’s clothes as I had to keep buying as he grew. By this time I had another baby to look after and even though I’d saved all my son’s clothes for her, as they were born at different times of the year, most of them weren’t suitable. I didn’t want to buy cheap new clothes after watching documentaries like The True Cost and finding out about the impact the fashion industry has on the planet and the conditions of many of the workers. But when I tried to shop secondhand, I found a mass of stained, poor quality clothes that I didn't want to dress my baby in. And it just wasn't sustainable (or that affordable) to buy 30 different items from different sellers on Vinted every three months!
Turning to more environmentally-friendly new clothes, I found loads of premium sustainable brands that I was desperate to dress my baby in, but a whole wardrobe of these just wasn't affordable. And in fact I didn’t want to own something I only needed for a few months and then have to donate/sell/recycle it. And so Borro was born.
The idea came at a time when I was looking for more meaningful work – a way to help with the climate crisis, so sustainability is the bedrock of the company. I’m still on my journey (believe me, I still have a lot of plastic toys I wish I didn’t!) but I hope in a small way I can help build the sort of society I want my children to grow up in.

I Love Borro
Ownership is so last year… renting is the way forward! Great quality, sustainable beautiful clothes that I honestly wouldn’t have been able to afford to buy new, that we can wear and return ready for someone else to use. What’s really not to love? Danika

Hidden Gem
Borro is really a hidden gem for all parents who have a need for sustainability and affordability! The company brings great additions to the wardrobes without the wince of buying pricier clothes you know your child will outgrow. They are so great! Drew

I'm Enjoying Borro
I am enjoying the process of renting from Borro for my little one. I’ve had a lot of positive comments on the clothes which I don’t normally get with my kids’ wardrobes! Easy returns, great rental process, and the customer service is second to none too. Emma

Saves Money
I have been renting from Borro for about four months now, and so far I have loved every second of it. I save money, my baby wears ethically made organic clothing, plus I now don’t have the troubles of sorting out her outgrown clothes anymore thankfully! Gwen
