Isle of Monday Launches as First Vintage Rental Platform

Isle of Monday, launched by Janelle Gray and Gabriella Carota, is a groundbreaking vintage rental service for archival fashion. Their collection showcases pieces from iconic designers such as Roberto Cavalli, Alaïa, Fendi, Dior by John Galliano, and Vivienne Westwood, previously worn by celebrities like Naomi Campbell and Carrie Bradshaw. The service combines owned and consigned inventory in partnership with vintage dealer Gabriel Held, with prices ranging from $65 to $1,600. The founders aim to democratize access to archival fashion, which is often found in private collections or at auction. They manage authentication and logistics and have introduced a "Will This Fit?" sizing tool. Interest has broadened to cities like Atlanta and Michigan, with investors including Cassandra Grey.
