Store Your Style
I truly appreciate the business concept behind Store Your Style in Toronto. It really may be the future of how we (when I say ‘we,’ I mean Westerners with way too much stuff) store our personal property. For now, Store Your Style is limiting the scope of its operation to garment storage. Store Your Style definitely understands the importance of maintaining space in urban living settings. They come to your home with a rolling clothes rail containing wooden hangers and breathable, gusseted garment bags; they also provide quality storage boxes with a selection of cedar and lavender preservatives to keep your clothes fresh. When your clothes are ready to be transported, Store Your Style comes to your home and transfers your duds to a secure, climate-controlled studio, where they log your clothes into their database individually and place them in custom-built storage racks. When you need to retrieve your clothes, just call or email, and SYS will drop them off within a day or two (they’ll even dry clean, press, and repair your clothes before they return them). This is a great idea that I can see being implemented on a broader scale in the near future.
