Great style shouldn't cost the earth, or your entire salary.

Occai is a Cape Town dress hire and dress rental destination built around a simple idea: you shouldn't have to own everything you want to wear.

We believe the traditional cycle of buying more, spending more and wearing less is outdated. Fast fashion comes at a cost, to our wallets, our wardrobes and the planet, while beautiful occasion wear can cost thousands for something you may only wear once.

So we're doing things differently. Occai gives you access to a curated wardrobe of designer dresses, evening gowns, wedding guest dresses, matric dance dresses and statement occasion wear without the price tag or commitment of ownership.

Whether it's a wedding, matric dance, date night, formal event or simply an excuse to dress ridiculously well, we want more people to have the freedom to wear the dress they actually want to wear — not just the one they can justify buying.

Wear more. Spend less. Own only what you love.
