Our garments

We love that you loved a garment so much you want to keep it! But unfortunately, at this point, you cannot keep or purchase an item that is rented. We currently have waitlists for each item that you can register to if you are interested in purchasing a particular item. Please email us at Hello@notsoordinary.com and let us know your name + email and what dress and size you are interested in purchasing.  

To ensure the longevity of each product, our team carefully looks over each item as it is returned.  Our team then evaluate how each item should be treated and cleaned. 
You can help us keep the items in our circle by 1. Letting us know what type stains we are treating. And 2. Being careful (while of course still having fun!) while wearing your items!  

There are different ways to clean and freshen up garments. We use methods such as water cleaning (washing machine), steamer, and when necessary dry clean. 
As a customer by reporting if an accident happened, ex. If red wine was spilled on a dress, we can more easily choose the suitable cleaning program for that particular item and stain, which greatly helps us and our environmental work.
Let us know if an accident happens at hello@notsoordinary.se. 

It’s good to always have an iron or steamer handy. The garment(s) is packed & shipped freshly steamed, but can become wrinkly in the process of getting to you.
Make sure to read the care instructions for the temperature.

Enjoy your occasion and leave the washing to us!  Don’t forget to tagg us, if social media is your thing!
