BKE Costume Rental
Would you like to dress up as your favourite superhero or Star Wars character? You have come to the right place. Superhero costumes are hard to find, but they are always easily recognised. BKE Costume Rental specialises in particular on Superhero as well as a few Star Wars characters with other costumes on the side.
For costume parties, birthdays, fancy dress, conventions and processions, buying a costume is not always ideal and it can take a long time to be delivered, this is where renting makes more sense.
When enquiring about renting costumes, please consider the following:
- Which costume do you want to rent?
- What size or age group does that costume have to be?
- How many costumes do you need in total?
- For what date do you need one or more costumes?
- Are you in the Cape Town area? Sending costumes away to another city is expensive, risky and time consuming. Please check in your area first.
- Sometimes you will need days to decide on what to wear, so start looking early at costumes before you need them.
- Negligence while wearing a rented costume will just push up renting fees and lower the quality of costumes for you and others.
Things to keep in mind about costumes:
- Costumes look recognisable in the photo album years later
- Costumes make you visible or less visible in a crowd
- Costumes can change other people's perception about you
- Costumes can conceal you, or show you in a different way
- Costumes are not the same everyday clothing, so they make an impression on other people
- Costumes sometimes bring out parts of your personality that isn't always visible with usually pleasent surprises
Occasions
Costumes can be used for the following occasions:
- Shop or product promotions
see the Readers Den comic book shop Free Comic Book Day 2006 and 2009 promotion as an example or the Free Comic Book Day 2009 event and Cape Town Book Fair 2007.
- Costume parties, fancy dress parties, birthday parties, carnivals, or just simply any kind of party
- Character support or performances at events or parties
- Television Ads / Commercials
- Theatre and plays
- Documentaries
- A project for work, school or college, usually film or theatre related
