Meet Darnet

The face behind Something Borrowed

Born and raised in Klerksdorp, Darnet Le Roux studied Marketing and Tourism Management at North-West University before building a career in hospitality, including six years managing Thaba Tshwene Game Lodge. A proud wife to JB and mom to Miane and Leylah, she's a hopeless romantic who loves fashion, beautiful things, and creating memorable moments. Something Borrowed is the business she's always dreamed of bringing to life.

HOW IT BEGAN

The WhatsApp message that started it all

The idea for Something Borrowed came together in an instant. One morning, Darnet spotted a WhatsApp status advertising a business opportunity for preloved wedding gowns. She called immediately, and within minutes, Something Borrowed was born.

What made the opportunity even more meaningful was that it came from Jackey. The designer who had been creating Darnet's dresses since Grade 6, including her own wedding gown.
