Frequently asked questions – Rentals
How does renting a bag work?
Select your bag and rental period (3, 10, or 21 days). Your rental begins the day you receive
the bag and ends when the bag is scanned by the courier on the final day of your rental
period. We ship 1–2 business days in advance for UK/Northern Ireland and 2–3 business
days for Republic of Ireland so it arrives on Day 1.
Who can rent from Parl Studio?
You must be 18+, have a valid delivery address in the UK, Northern Ireland, or Republic
of Ireland, and provide payment details. We reserve the right to decline or cancel any rental
request at our discretion.
How are rental dates calculated?
10-Day Rental: bag arrives Day 1, return by end of Day 10.
21-Day Rental: bag arrives Day 1, return by end of Day 21.
Example: A 3-day rental starting on Friday → receive Friday morning, return by Sunday
evening.
