You can now rent your Lidl Christmas sweater! Supermarket has teamed up with sustainable fashion app to let customers borrow a festive jumper for just £2

As December approaches, more and more Christmas sweaters are appearing in stores to get you into the festive spirit.

But if you don’t fancy a sweater you only wear once a year, budget supermarket Lidl has a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.

This year, Lidl has teamed up with sustainable fashion app By Rotation to let customers across the UK rent their Christmas jumper – and it costs just £2.

Lidl’s 2023 Christmas jumper will be available to rent on the site, as will the 2020, 2021 and 2022 offerings – with all profits going to charity.

The Lidl x By Rotation collection also offers three festive jumpers inspired by Christmas pop icons Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis and Elton John.

The Christmas jumper sales service can take the pressure off people who are going to multiple festive parties, or those who can’t afford to splurge on one but don’t want to feel left out.

By Rotation is a peer-to-peer fashion rental app that launched in 2019 in an effort to tackle overconsumption habits and extend the life cycle of garments already in circulation.

And the partnership with Lidl gives customers the opportunity to rent their Christmas jumpers for just £2 each. All profits from the show jumping horses go to the NSPCC.

Eshita Kabra, founder and CEO of By Rotation, said: ‘By Rotation is delighted to be working with Lidl this festive season by adding Lidl’s Christmas jumpers to our shared wardrobe on the app.

‘As Christmas is one of the most important occasions of the year when demand for buying single-wear outfits skyrockets, hiring a festive sweater for your holiday plans is a great way to leave a positive impact on the planet and also save money!’

For this year’s collection, Lidl has also collaborated with Lydia Bolton, a specialist in slow fashion – which is the opposite of fast fashion and takes an ethical and sustainable approach to producing clothes.

Available exclusively from By Rotation, Lydia has created three bespoke Lidl jumpers inspired by pop culture Christmas icons Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis and Elton John. The sustainable limited edition sweaters are made from up-cycled textiles, transformed into a must-have item of this season.

Speaking about the collaboration with Lidl and By Rotation, Lydia said: ‘I loved being part of Lidl’s iconic Christmas jumper campaign.

‘Designing and producing these sweaters, inspired by Christmas icons from second-hand textiles, was super fun and creative, but knowing that they will be rented and worn again also supports my mission to value and reuse textiles.

Lidl’s Christmas jumper collection is available to hire and purchase via By Rotation from 23 November to 31 December here.
