You all know that one of my favourite past times is finding new and exciting vendors who are pushing the boundaries and serving with love. This week I had the pleasure of meeting Sonny from Meera Meera Rentals, located in Thornhill.

Introducing Meera Meera Rentals - Indian Lehenga Rentals in Toronto!

Meera Meera Rentals provides designer Indian lehenga rentals and boy, can I just say that we've needed this service for a long time? I'm sure you all can think of a few companies that provide clothing rental options for Western wear, both formal and informal, but I can't think of any for South Asian attire.As soon as Sonny reached out to me on Instagram, I was immediately intrigued. As a second-generation Canadian of Indo-Guyanese descent, I'm no stranger to South Asian attire. The issue I've had is that I don't wear lehengas and sarees with enough frequency to constantly update my wardrobe. Also, my knowledge of what's currently styling is limited to scrolling Instagram and Pinterest. It's also hard to justify dropping $400+ on a beautiful outfit that I'll likely only wear once. By the time the next event rolls around, it may have even gone out of style! Cue heartbreak and tears from me because I can't stand having things just sit in my closet unworn.Meera Meera fills this gap so beautifully - especially for fusion weddings, in my humble opinion. Sonny's reasoning is that she herself is in a fusion marriage, and found that the constant need for stylish outfits came at a pretty big price tag.  Many people find it intimidating to head to the shops to shop and compare. As a fusion-wedding planner, I can attest that shopping for Indian attire can be challenging for non-Indian folks. Even I struggle with using the right terminology for the type of outfit that I want. By providing this service, Sonny takes the guesswork out of shopping for stylish Indian attire. I love that she is being eco-friendly with this service, and giving women a chance to look bomb-diggity at an affordable price point. I love that this service also means that I'll have more variety at my finger tips, too!

So how much does it cost?

Meera Meera's Indian lehenga rentals provides a boutique-style experience with pricing starting at $85 CAD for a stunning outfit, and a 4 day rental. Sonny also provides minor alterations and accessory rentals. Each outfit is professionally cleaned after every wear, so no need to worry about that, either! You can literally reach out to her, have an outfit with a super-fast turnaround and show up at your event looking like a million bucks! Sonny's showroom is stunning and you'll love every second of chatting with her. She's warm, caring and funny, and she'll make you feel right at home as you find the perfect outfit for your next event!
