Our Purpose
Renting dresses has always been about making people feel confident and being eco friendly to our planet but we believe it can do more.
At Cilla Hire & Co, we believe every dress has a story. A dress can be part of someone’s most special moments - a celebration, a milestone, a memory they’ll carry forever.
But we also believe that fashion can create impact beyond the person wearing it.
Our Purpose
When I started Cilla Hire & Co, my goal was to create a space where women could feel beautiful, confident, and empowered while making luxury fashion more accessible and sustainable through dress hire.
But over time, I realised this business could stand for something greater.
For the past three years, I have carried a deep passion for raising awareness about human trafficking — a global issue that affects millions of people around the world.
Learning about the reality of human trafficking was heartbreaking. Behind every statistic is a real person — someone with a story, dreams, and a right to freedom.
Human trafficking is the exploitation of people through force, fraud, or coercion. It can take many forms, including sex trafficking, forced labour, domestic servitude, forced marriage, criminal exploitation, and child exploitation.
Many people are unaware of how widespread this issue is, millions of people, children, sisters, brothers, cousins are without a voice and being trafficked into unnameable situations everyday, which is why awareness and education are such important steps towards creating change.
Turning Hires Into Action
At Cilla Hire & Co, we believe every woman deserves to live with freedom and dignity. At Cilla hire & co we are proud to support the fight against human trafficking. That's why we donate $2 from every dress hire to A21 to help combat human trafficking and support survivors around the world. Because every woman deserves freedom.
Every time you choose to hire a dress, you are not only choosing a more sustainable way to enjoy fashion — you are also helping contribute towards a cause that works to protect freedom and restore hope.
Why This Matters
I know $2 may seem small, but every movement begins with small steps.
My hope is that as Cilla Hire & Co grows, our impact grows too. What starts as one donation can become thousands of moments where fashion helps create meaningful change.
Together, we can:
- Raise awareness
- Support survivors
- Encourage conversations
- Use fashion and voice for good
