Mandira Curtis: "Where Passion Meets Purpose, and Style Becomes an Experience!"
After raising two sons, one now at VCU and the other preparing to start medical school this fall, Mandira Curtis found herself in a new chapter. With the demands of motherhood behind her, she turned toward a dream that had been quietly calling for years: creating a space where women could access extraordinary fashion without limitations.
A lifelong fashion enthusiast, Mandira’s closet is a reflection of her global eye and elevated taste. Think Cavalli, Camilla, Rotate Birger Christensen, Zhivago, PatBO—pieces that command attention and tell a story. But like many women, she found herself wearing them once and then watching them sit untouched. The fashion felt fabulous, but the waste did not.
She searched for a solution, but nothing quite matched her vision. Rental platforms existed, but they lacked the magic, the uniqueness, the statement. That was her aha moment.
In 2024, Mandira launched LeaseTheDress—first online, and then as an intimate, by-appointment-only boutique tucked away in McLean, Virginia.
