If you’ve ever scrambled to find the perfect outfit for a fancy event, you’ve probably already checked out Rent the Runway (RTR), a clothing rental service that lets you get your hands on designer duds on the cheap. Well, the company just set out to make parents’ lives even easier with their new venture, Rent the Runway Kids!
RTR launched back in 2009 offering special occasion clothes, and they’ve since expanded into monthly subscription options so stylish ladies can keep their looks fresh. RTR Kids, which is expected to go live on Apr. 16, is starting out with girls sizes ranging from 3T to 10/12 and hello, little fashionista!
The concept of renting clothes is not only an eco-friendly option for parents, but it’s also a chance to keep costs down when it comes to outfitting growing children. Customers of RTR have reported that they’ve found they spend far less on clothes, especially when it comes to purchasing items that end up never being worn.
RTR Kids will be available as an extension for subscriptions which start at a trial price of $69 and as part of Reserve, where parents will be able to choose from four to eight-day rentals starting at $30. You’ll find clothing from your fave designers like Fendi, Stella McCartney, Little Marc Jacobs, Marni, Chloé and more!
And if you’re worried about the wear and tear that kids make on clothes––don’t. RTR Kids will offer the same insurance policy as it does for adult clothing in which a $5 insurance fee covers dry cleaning, stains and minor damage.
When it comes to Target, it doesn’t take much to get moms excited. When we aren’t dreaming of meandering the aisles alone with our Starbucks, we’re making some major drive-up orders on our mobile devices. As if our shopping experience couldn’t get any better, Target’s new store design aims to make your next trip to the retailer even better. By taking each store’s neighborhood and needs into consideration, each and every remodel is unique.
Here’s what we love about the Target’s new look.
Boutique-Style Beauty
As busy parents, we don't always have the time, budget or patience to take our kids to the mall and shop high-end beauty counters or stores. Target's redesigned beauty aisles seek to remedy that craving and at a much better price point. Continue to shop your fave drug store and signature Target brands, but in a boutique-feel setup.
Head-To-Toe Outfit Displays & More Mannequins
Stuck trying to find the perfect outfit for a special occasion? Target is seeking to make your clothes shopping experience even better by offering more style suggestions for men, women and kids. Outfit pieces found on mannequins are directly adjacent to the display so you can get the look you see in a cinch
Modern & Open Displays
No more trying to bypass other shoppers in dark, tight aisles! Target's newer, inviting displays are brightly lit and contain smaller subsections of products so you don't have to stand looking at 12 shelves of products, trying to find that one bottle of shampoo.
Reimagined Spaces for Tons of Departments
Target has abandoned traditional departments they've held fast to over the years, for center aisle popouts and corner niches. New LED lighting open shelving is making huge changes in kitchen, home, baby and toys that are just as enticing as they are functional.
