Why department stores are getting into the rental business
Bloomingdale’s is launching a fashion rental service for women — similar to Rent the Runway, which has been leasing women designer dresses and accessories for almost a decade. Subscribers will pay $149 a month to rent items like dresses and jeans and outerwear.
