The Beginning
TSA (The Suitcase Alternative) idea came out of a California trip. Not just that weather app was constantlly changing, but I was also traveling with the kids. That stess was too much. And I hate packing as is I always bring something I don't wear and always need that one shirt, or a pair of jeans or a jacket that would pull the outfit together and make me comfortable
That's when the idea struck me: what if I could rent stylish, weather-appropriate clothes that were already waiting at my destination? No more guessing games with the weather forecast. No more struggling with space in suitcases. No more checking bags or paying extra fees.
I started researching and discovered that even though some business online rental services existed and claimed they were "AirBnB for clothes", they were missing basic layers and must be shipped. I don't want only fancy dresses! And how can we claim sustainability if couple of garments is being shipped across the country? That's when TSA began to take shape.
The Solution
TSA helps travelers like you (and me) skip the suitcase and rent stylish, weather-appropriate clothes that are already waiting at your destination. No overpacking. No baggage claim. No problem.
We want our platform to connect both fashion-forward and convenience-seeking travelers with local clothing lenders. And who are closet lenders? Anyone with a closet who wants to turn their it into passive income. All that travelers need to do is to select the items from the one they like and it will be ready when you arrive. Each piece must e cleaned and ironed, ensuring you look your best from the moment you step off the plane. If it's not, you can rate that closer with oen star, just like you would rate Uber driver or AirBnB host.
We're also committed to sustainability. Every outfit rented locally instead of shipped reduce the carbon emissions. Instead of buying something you are only going to wear once helps reduce fashion waste.
The Mission
And here's the truth: I own way more cute outfits than I'll ever wear. TSA is a way to share those great pieces with travelers who need them — while making some extra money along the way. We're here to make travel lighter, closets happier, and outfits more useful.
Our mission is simple: to make travel more sustainable, convenient, and stylish. We believe that fashion shouldn't be a burden when you're on the go. That's why we've created a platform that benefits everyone involved:
- Travelers get access to high-quality, weather-appropriate clothing without the hassle of packing
- Clothing lenders earn passive income from pieces they rarely wear
- The environment benefits from reduced fashion waste and carbon emissions
Join us in making travel lighter, closets happier, and fashion more sustainable. Together, we can create a better way to experience the world through style.
