About

The styling bank is a north London based hire facility for modern everyday wardrobe basics, providing wardrobe for shoots in a convenient but more sustainable way. The collection is entirely based on post shoot donations from productions and the collection is continually growing and expanding as we recycle more post-shoot clothing

The collection features a curated selection of everyday wardrobe pieces such as coats, jeans, chinos, shirts, t-shirts, jumpers, jackets, shoes and accessories in popular commercial shoot tonal colours. We also have a selection of kids and baby clothes, medical and site workwear and small props such as office desk top items, tech devices, fake plants, dining table small props, and framed wall art.

The Styling Bank was founded in 2021 by freelance wardrobe and props stylist Alice Timms, after growing frustrated and concerned about the increasing amount of waste created on shoots through repeat purchases and disposal of wardrobe items, and was inspired by an earlier version of this idea started by Khandiz Joni.

The Styling Bank also acts as a resource hub, providing a directory of sustainable suppliers and recycling suggestions with useful sustainability information and aims to create a network enabling stylists with their own stock to hire out to each other creating a community of local resources to easily source re-usable wardrobe items while cutting down on waste and preventing new purchases.

We are an Albert-approved sustainable supplier and are continually assessing and looking to reduce our environmental impact while lowering the carbon footprint of running the business.

Please contact us to find out more if you would also like to make your own stock available for hire to other stylists for shoots.
