Rentals

Membership based costume rentals to provide access to excellent costumes to artists at every level.

Our goal is access and we operate from a place of abundance rather than scarcity. We would rather the costumes be used than stored or wasted. Please ask about opportunities to remove capitalism from your costume acquisition.

Historically excluded designers or companies are eligible for a "Pay what you can" model or free costumes, email to inquire.

Workshops

Conscious Costume offers a variety of programs for you and your community to build more ethical practices. From sourcing, to sharing, to waste, these workshops are designed to help you understand your link in the broader supply and waste network.
