A Lincoln entrepreneur has started a new fashion rental subscription service.
The Devout, founded by Lincoln resident Steve Bryant, has a warehouse in Witham St. Hughs where it will store clothes.
It will cost £79 per month and is the UK’s first monthly clothing subscription service for both men and women.

Clothes from designer and vintage brands will be available to customers, with a five item limit for the monthly price.
At the end of each month, the five items chosen will be swapped for brand new ones.

Once clothes cannot be rented any longer, they will be put in an outlet store for sale, with unsold items going to the company’s charity partner, Shelter.
Steve Bryant, 29, founder of The Devout, said: “We know people have the best of intentions when it comes to making more sustainable fashion choices, but at the same time, people love fashion and dressing up, especially when it makes you feel and look good.

“To help prevent mountains of waste clothing from building up here in the UK or being exported abroad, the answer is simple: buy less.
“Rental is a great alternative. A fashion rental subscription enables people to enjoy clothes but without the guilt, and it also enables them to make more of their wardrobe by trying out new looks on a regular basis.”

As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
After a seven-year wait, Grantham finally welcomed back 24-hour care last month with the new Urgent Treatment Centre, replacing the daytime A&E service, and local residents have been actively sharing their experiences of the new facility.
The road to today has been a long and bumpy one for residents and campaigners alike, with many fearing Grantham might never have a healthcare facility that was open 24 hours a day again.
