About Rent the Runway
Rent the Runway (RTR) is a publicly traded e-commerce platform (NASDAQ: RENT) founded in 2009 that pioneered the "Closet in the Cloud" — enabling women to rent, subscribe to, or buy designer apparel and accessories from hundreds of brand partners. The company offers a subscription-based service and à-la-carte rentals, giving customers access to over 750 designers across categories from evening wear to workwear, activewear, and beyond. RTR's model promotes circular fashion and sustainability by replacing ownership with flexible access to luxury fashion.
