Thank you for visiting! Here at The Borrowed Collection, it's the joy of marrying one's true love that inspires us. The walk down the aisle to your one and only is an unforgettable moment and we've carefully curated our jewelry collection with that in mind. Today's weddings offer brides a blissful escape from the every day; it's a day that every bride deserves to look her best. By offering a rental jewelry service, we are helping to make that happen, one amazing wedding at time.
The Borrowed Collection came to be thanks to the concept of renting high end products with companies like Bag, Borrow, or Steal. If women can rent designer handbags, why not wedding jewelry?! The response has been incredible and we couldn't be more excited that brides love our concept! Nothing makes us happier than seeing brides get the look they want at a price that puts a smile on their face instead of a considerable dent in their wedding budget.
Founded in May of 2014, we began by hosting personal consultations in Vancouver. Due to the incredible response, we knew we needed to expand the service to the rest of Canada and set to work creating our website. We paired with some incredible vendors (Gucio Photography, Katie Elwood Makeup Artistry, and Truvelle Bridal) to create the bridal looks that you see on the site. We hope that they lend inspiration while you shop. It was a goal or ours to make the shopping experience as relaxing as possible. In fact, we hope you are enjoying a glass of wine while you shop because planning a wedding can be a lot of work and you certainly deserve it!
We hope you enjoy the site and we would love to hear from you if you have any questions or simply want to say hello! We are always looking for fabulous pieces to add to our collection, so if you have something in mind we would love to hear from you!
-xoxo, Elise
