Rent the Runway

RTR is an online service that offers rentals of designer clothing and accessories. They brought on board Renee Graham, the founder of Kargo, to design a durable garment bag. This bag not only protects the rentals from the elements but also ensures they arrive in a clean and pristine condition. Additionally, customers can conveniently return the items through the mail using the same bag.

Challenge

Rent the Runway was rapidly expanding and needed a new, cost-effective system to ship rented clothing in perfect condition. They aimed to minimize waste and find a better solution for safely returning the garments for cleaning and re-renting.

Solution

Within Rent the Runway, Renee developed a garment bag-inspired shipping envelope. This durable, reusable bag safeguards garments, accommodating multiple dresses and accessories. It serves as both a tote bag and a shipping envelope, saving on costs compared to previous methods.
