Rent the Runway Unlimited Review - 2020

Rent the Runway - Ambassador Review 

I had been using Rent the Runway for over ten years before becoming a Rent the Runway ambassador. Here is my review:

Who Created Rent the Runway ?

Co-created by two Harvard business graduates, Rent the Runway got their big break around 2009. When their start-up was featured in a New York Times Post and went viral overnight: 100,000 people across the country signed up for what would become the first large scale dress rental company and America's largest dry cleaner. They now have over a billion dollar valuation. 

Why I love Rent the Runway?

• They have excellent ​customer service that I have experienced for over a decade.
• The possibilities of designers, accessories, and dresses is literally Unlimited. I can rent my wedding dress or bridesmaids dresses in various sizes even Plus size.
• I have the unlimited plan, I literally login and can see what 4-5 items I have at home, the current discounts, and when items are due to be returned.
• It is perfect because you already have the items already at home with you, you try them on, and if you like them enough you can keep them = a trial try on through Rent the Runway.
• The prices are usually about 50-60% off - literally sample sale prices. Plus I love supporting a woman owned business. 
• I am hoping they expand their in-store shops to Atlanta as when I am in New York City going to fashion shows I often switch out clothing in the flagship store.
• One day, I hope to use my swap subscription to rent maternity clothes, plus sized clothing, or any other options I may need.
• RTR adapts your "closet in the cloud" to whatever is happening in your life. 
• One thing I am curious about is whether they will release items for men, I would love to gift RTR to my boyfriend in addition to my girlfriends.

Why did it take ten years before becoming a RTR ambassador? Because I wanted to only form partnerships with companies I already use and believe in. I only partner with companies that fit my current lifestyle - you all know I blog about what I like and. actually do/use. I can not be bought. So when Rent the Runway (RTR) reached out I was excited to share with the world about this great, woman-owned company. 

& now  Rent the Runway has committed to support Black Owned Companies as well. As a Black woman, I stand with companies that take a stand and will plan to devote at least 15 percent of their shelf/rental space to Black Owned Companies. RTR joins companies like powerhouse Sephora. My review of Rent the Runway as a Black woman and blogger is one of few minorities. I want this to change as Black women deserve luxury items,  high fashion moments, & so many more opportunities for Black women and fashionistas. 

Rent the Runway Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What if I damage the dress?
Minor tears that can be sewn, small spills that can be fixed with dry cleaning - there will not be a charge to you as the items at RTR are often insured. Instead they fix the small damages in house at NO COST To YOU! So renting is a better option than buying a $800 dress and returning it. With RTR you can rent it for $70 and RTR covers dry cleaning, shipping cost, and even a second sizes depending on which subscription or 4-day rental you choose.  If you lose the dress then contact Rent the Runway's customer service for assistance - there then may be a charge to you.

2. Dry cleaning before I send it back? No! Rent the Runway is actually the largest dry cleaner in America! Just send it back and they take care of everything.
