About Us

In this decade many women buy a dress, wear it once, and then push it to the back of their wardrobes to make room for new ones. Julia admitted she was one of these people, and wanted to look into a more sustainable and ethical way of fashion. Seeing the demand of designer dress hire in New Zealand and discovering that Hawkes Bay had no designer rental businesses, Julia decided to invest her time into creating Runway Rentals.

Runway Rentals offers affordable rental designer wear throughout New Zealand. As well as an overnight tracked courier service, we also offer try ons which are based in Havelock North, Hawkes Bay. 

Runway Rentals was founded by Julia Nysse in December, 2019. Julia has always had a love of fashion and was frequently inspired to keep up with the latest trends from her many fashion idols. Her ambition is to be able to offer dresses to women of all sizes.

We love our home and take great pride in caring for the environment by using compostable courier bags. These bags can easily be composted at home or at commercial facilities.
