‘Rent My Dust’ was the first vintage rental company in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Owner Rita Miller Dorris shares the idea for the business came about when friends, who are also photographers, went crazy over her husband’s vintage radio collection. The friends suggested they consider renting items to fellow photographers for styled photo shoots. After doing quite a bit of research, they realized it was a great idea and began ‘Rent My Dust’ with the pieces they already had in their home. It was a perfect match and the couple has never looked back! When asked about how the name of their company came about, Rita laughs. “My husband Jay and I have always had a
cluttered home because of our vintage collections, and there is never enough time to dust each and every item. ‘Rent My Dust’ seemed perfect, because many times you do get a bit of dust along with the vintage items you are renting!” The part of the business Rita enjoys the most is working with creative people, whether it is the photographers, event planners or brides. “Each has a vision, and what a joy it is to see the ideas come to life with our vintage dust! We get to share what we have collected over a lifetime with others and watch them enjoy it. Treasures mean much more when shared than tucked away and never used.”
“Treasures mean much more when shared…”
