Rent the Runway, founded in 2009, lets users rent clothes and shop second-hand accessories such as handbags and jewelry in over 18,000 styles from more than 750 designer brands.
The company plans to sell 15 million shares priced between $18.00 and $21.00 apiece in its IPO, raising $315 million, according to a filing.
Earlier this month, the Brooklyn, New York-based company disclosed a near 39% drop in revenue for the fiscal year 2020.
The company’s top-line also took a hit in the first half of this fiscal year, with revenue down 9% for the period ended July 31.
Demand for second-hand clothes, however, has jumped in recent months as customers become increasingly conscious about their carbon footprint, boosting revenues at styling service Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX) and online resale shop ThredUp.
Goldman Sachs & Co (NYSE:GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Barclays (LON:BARC) are the lead underwriters for the offering. Rent the Runway will list its stock on the Nasdaq under the symbol “RENT”.
