Rent the Runway: Fashion Leader with Stock on the Rise

written by August 27, 2024

What is Rent the Runway?

Rent the Runway, Inc. (NASDAQ: RENT) operates shared designer closets and provides a clothing rental service in the US. Through subscription plans, rental, and resale offerings, the company offers a wide range of clothing items, including formal wear, ready-to-wear, accessories, workwear, casual attire, denim, maternity wear, loungewear, outerwear, blouses, ski wear, knitwear, jewelry, handbags, and activewear.

Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss founded Rent the Runway, officially launching the company in November 2009. In addition to its core business, the company is involved in support and software development activities. Rent the Runway is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, where it was originally established.

The company sells clothing in sizes varying from 00 to 22 that over 700 designers create. In addition, customers can rent clothing through the firm’s Reserve program for four or eight days without committing to a subscription. 

To ensure it fits, every rental comes with a free backup size. For an extra charge, customers can obtain a second style. The cost of dry cleaning and garment care is included in the rental price. 

The business started letting anyone purchase used goods from its website in 2021 without requiring a membership. Since 2016, subscribers have been able to buy rent the runway items they rented items at a time.

Because of its innovative approach to fashion rentals and resale, the company has demonstrated significant growth potential. By offering flexible, sustainable fashion choices, Rent the Runway has positioned itself as a leader in the industry.

Some of Rent the Runway’s top competitors include Hurr, The Volte, UnoMoi, Designer Wardrobe, Armarium, Charlotte’s Closet, Vow to be Chic, Klozee, GlamourRent, and 99dresses.

History of Rent the Runway

Hyman and Fleiss were Harvard Business School sectionmates in 2007. They frequently talked about business concepts, including Rent the Runway. 

After witnessing her sister go overboard on an expensive new gown for a wedding, Hyman started renting out dresses for women for special occasions. Her long-term goal was to provide women with on-demand, easy accessibility to designer items. 

Designer Diane von Fürstenberg was first presented with the idea by Hyman and Fleiss as a time rental service for her brand’s website. At first, she seemed uninterested and recommended that they build their multi-brand designer clothing website instead. 

Venture capitalists such as Fidelity, Highland Capital Partners, Franklin Templeton, Bain Capital Ventures, TCV, American Express, and T. Rowe Capital have invested over $400 million in the company. The company faced negative press in 2015 following the departure of several key executives, including Linda Honan, who later joined BBDO, and Chief Technology Officer Camille Fournier.

By the end of 2016, the company made a strong recovery, aided by a Series E investment from Fidelity Investments and the launch of new physical retail locations. Fleiss departed the business in 2017 to co-found the concierge shopping service Jetblack. Hyman continued as CEO, and Fleiss stayed on the board. 

Awards and Recognition

In 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019, CNBC’s Disruptor 50 category featured Rent the Runway. The business earned recognition as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2019.

Time magazine named Rent the Runway one of the 50 best websites of the year in 2010. Furthermore, it was recognised as a World Changing Idea by Fast Company in 2014. The New York State Society for Human Resource Management recognised Rent the Runway as being one of the top companies to work in New York State in 2014. 

Hyman was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential in 2019. Hyman was listed on Fortune’s Trailblazers list of people transforming the face of business in 2013, and the company was named one of Forbes’ 12 Most Disruptive Names in Business in 2013. 

Co-founder Fleiss and Hyman have both been in the lists of “30 Under 30” by Inc. Magazine, “40 Under 40” by Fortune and “Most Influential Women in Technology” by Fast Company. 

“Rising Stars in Retail” by Fashion Group International for the 14th year, “Women Entrepreneurs to Watch” by Forbes, and “The Business Journal 2016 Upstart 100 Class of Creatives.”
