Dress Hire NZ
About Us
DressHire NZ is a 100% Kiwi, family-owned business built on collaboration and a shared belief that fashion should be accessible, sustainable, and joyfully you.
While DressHire NZ was the OG of dress hire in NZ back in 2018, today, mother and daughter duo, Vanessa and Morgan, blend fresh vision with real-world experience. One of our core inspirations is the Dr. Seuss reminder that “there is no one alive who is you’er than you.”
We believe in loveability, accessibility, and sustainability - helping women feel confident in who they are, while reducing the impact that fast and disposable fashion has on our environment.
Our Purpose
Wear the looks you love, without the full price tag
We exist to enable quality, modern garments to be available to everyone, without the barriers of cost, waste, or expectation. Fashion should be fun, expressive, and kind to both people and the planet. We encourage all women to live into who they are.
True innovation happens when experience meets fresh perspective, and true meaning comes when you know you are making a difference. Vanessa says, “Morgan sees no barriers, only possibilities. For her, dreams are goals, and DressHire NZ is a platform to inspire confidence, creativity, and self-expression for all young women. If I can have a hand in that – I’m up for it.”
Our Unique Approach
One of the things that makes us unique is our commitment to reverse mentorship. As sales and communication channels evolve, Morgan (the creative force) leads the way with digital fluency, authentic insights from her generation, social engagement, and modern brand storytelling. Vanessa (the engine room) brings decades of business wisdom, customer-first principles, and strategic clarity. Together, we learn from each other, challenge each other, and build something neither of us could alone.
It’s a beautiful symmetry - a circular economy for fashion and a circular approach to mentorship and growth.
Our Commitment
We’re here to offer beautiful garments, a beautiful experience, and a beautiful alternative to wasteful fashion. Everyone loves a second chance, and that’s why we believe in circularity and are investing time and effort into minimizing our impact. We aim to create a future where fashion doesn’t just look good, but makes you feel good and does good.
Loveability. Accessibility. Sustainability.
That’s DressHire NZ.
