Our Story

Beautiful gowns, shared

Korset is a bridal rental boutique in South Africa, built on the idea that every bride deserves a gown she loves, without the price of buying one.

Where it Began

A gown worn once deserves to be worn again

Wedding gowns are made with extraordinary care, then often worn for a single day and stored away. Korset began with a simple question: what if those gowns could be loved again and again?

Today we curate designer and couture-quality gowns, look after them meticulously and fit each one to the bride who wears it next. You get the dress of your dreams for a fraction of the retail price, and the gown gets another beautiful story.

What We Believe

Our promises to you

i.

Considered

Every gown is chosen for its quality, construction and how it makes a bride feel, not for trends.

ii.

Cared for

Each gown is professionally cleaned, repaired where needed and inspected before every rental.

iii.

Kinder

Renting means fewer gowns made for a single wear, and a lighter footprint for your celebration.

Behind the Scenes

How we care for every gown

Between rentals, each gown goes through the same careful routine so it arrives looking as it did on its first day.

  • Specialist bridal cleaning after every wear
  • Hems, beading and fastenings checked by hand
  • Steamed, pressed and stored in breathable bags
