Modern Luxury Media Introduces ModLux.Rent - A New Luxury Clothing Rental Experience

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Modern Luxury Media, the nation's largest luxury media company, today announced the launch of ModLux.Rent, a new luxury clothing rental service curated by Modern Luxury editors. Powered by CaaStle, the leading B2B rental technology and logistics company in the U.S., ModLux.Rent is the first apparel subscription service offered by a media company.

"The launch of ModLux.Rent aligns with our growth strategy as it positions us to capitalize on the rise of content to commerce platforms," said Michael Dickey, CEO of Modern Luxury Media. "By leveraging both our traditional properties through our newly acquired influencer network, Glocally, ModLux.Rent continues to strengthen our ability to authentically engage with hyperlocal communities of luxury consumers across all screens and platforms."

ModLux.Rent offers members unrestricted access to the season's latest styles from luxury brands for a flat monthly fee of $125, with the option to keep and purchase an item at an exclusive discount. Members receive 3 items at a time that they can wear as long as they want. When they're ready to try something new, they can exchange styles for 3 new ones with unlimited exchanges and returns, free priority shipping, and complimentary laundering services.

Unique to the service, Modern Luxury editors will select from top and emerging brands to offer the ultimate wardrobe of the moment to subscribers. New styles and brands will be added weekly, allowing members to experience all of the editors' favorite fashion finds.

On the backend, CaaStle will operate the rental service in a fully managed way including all proprietary technology, reverse logistics and garment care ensuring a seamless experience for members.
