Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rent the Runway, Inc. (“Rent the Runway”) (Nasdaq: RENT) the largest shared designer closet, is launching a new Amazon Fashion storefront to sell a selection of its Pre-Loved and exclusive Design Collective apparel.

The collection of Pre-Loved merchandise includes hundreds of styles from over 35 brands, spanning casual weekend wear, workwear, date night apparel and seasonal essentials like sweaters, tops, coats and denim. This new online storefront will offer Amazon Fashion customers another affordable way to refresh their wardrobes.

In addition, the company will introduce an exclusive selection of merchandise from its Design Collective, only available new through Amazon Fashion and renttherunway.com. Through Design Collective, Rent the Runway gives top design talent an opportunity to create limited-edition collections informed by Rent the Runway’s proprietary data and insights from its community of customers. As a result, these pieces are amongst the company’s most popular. Through this launch with Amazon Fashion, Rent the Runway deepens its commitment to being a customer discovery platform for designer brands by providing an even wider stage for them to introduce their products to new audiences.

“Collaborating with Amazon Fashion brings Rent the Runway incredible brand awareness,” said Jenn Hyman, Rent the Runway Co-Founder and CEO. “We believe strategic relationships like this can ignite a new engine of growth for our business. They also showcase demand for our products beyond our community and allow more customers to experience exclusive data-driven fashion from our top design partners.”

“At Amazon Fashion, we continually expand our assortment through strategic relationships with brands to inspire and delight our customers,” said Muge Erdirik Dogan, President of Amazon Fashion. “Rent the Runway’s collection continues to grow our offering in pre-loved and designer fashion.”

Customers can discover Rent the Runway’s dedicated brand store by visiting amazon.com/stores/renttherunway with products eligible for free shipping and returns for Prime members.
    
The financial impact of this launch was largely reflected in RTR’s third-quarter earnings results in Other Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. RTR is not updating the financial guidance for Q4’22 and FY2022 that was shared on its December 7, 2022 earnings call.
