A little peak behind the scenes at Låne!🎥🧥🌍♻️
Every now and then, if one of us is working we rope in a friend to help (shout out and ) but day to day, it’s just us who do everything here! From sourcing and purchasing to social media to inventory to accounts, we’re a two woman team.
We’ve worked hard and have quickly managed to outgrow our first 3 spaces, so we’re on the look out for something bigger that will allow us to accommodate designer viewings and fittings.
Thank you all for your support so far and we can’t wait to work with even more of you in 2021 and beyond.

Our emails are open for any enquiries and we are still operating under Covid guidelines. As long as the UK film industry is going, so are we! ♥️🌍♻️🎬😷
While we’re known for our modern vintage collection, we also have a great selection of workwear! Lawyer to detective to bobby, nurse to paramedic to doctor, we’ve got you 🕵️🧑⚕️🧑🔧👷
Coat season is here 🍂🌍♻️
The leaves are turning, you now what that means! Jackets, layers and warm colours all round 🌍♻️🍂🍁
BLUE MONDAY 🌍♻️
We are facing a clothing crisis! Cheap, low quality clothing is now available to us with just a few taps on our phone. We know it’s not easy to cut out fast fashion, but if we all try and reduce our impact by a little bit, together we can make a big difference. 🌍♻️
In 2018, 25 people every minute were forced to flee their homes.
Suede & leather, go together ♻️
Last week we managed to save just over 700 plastic hangers from being sent to a wheelie bin in Shepherds Bush west London. So far today we have managed to hang 200 knitted jumpers up with some of the hangers. Currently sat on the floor debating what to have for dinner. Phew! ♻️ @ Planet Earth
Tiny dress + giant coat = 🥰 ♻️
Saturday night attire 🧚
We walked past this sign today near Portobello Road. Did you know that up to 64% of new textiles are made of plastic? These include polyester, nylon, acrylic and polyamide.
Sundays are for sleeping 😴♻️
Our aim at Låne Arkiv is to reduce to use of fast fashion within the Film & TV industry. Here is a selection of some of the amazing dresses we have to hire @ London, United Kingdom
