Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company had restricted cash balances for cash collateralized standby letters of credit as of April 30, 2025 and January 31, 2025 of $9.0 million and $9.1 million, respectively, primarily to satisfy security deposit requirements on its leases. The restricted cash balances also consisted of letters of credit for rental product purchases and credit card transactions. The Company has non-cancelable minimum purchase commitments that are related to technology services and are due over approximately 2.6 years. As of April 30, 2025, these commitments were $13.1 million. Legal Proceedings From time to time in the normal course of business, various claims and litigation have been asserted or commenced against the Company. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation and other claims, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail in any such matters, which could subject the Company to significant liability for damages. Any claims or litigation could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or business and financial condition in the period the claims or litigation are resolved. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. On November 14, 2022, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of New York against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of its IPO, entitled Rajat Sharma v. Rent the Runway, Inc., et al. 22-cv-6935 (the “Securities Action”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by making allegedly materially misleading statements, and by omitting material facts necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading concerning, inter alia, the Company’s growth at the time of the IPO. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs and such other relief as deemed just and proper by the court. On June 8, 2023, the court appointed Delaware Public Employees’ Retirement System and Denver Employees Retirement Plan as lead plaintiffs. On August 21, 2023, lead plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against the Company, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of its IPO. The amended complaint alleges that defendants violated Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act by allegedly making certain false and misleading statements, and by omitting material facts necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, concerning, among other things, the Company’s growth prospects and fulfillment costs at the time of the IPO. The lawsuit seeks an award of damages, attorney’s fees and costs, and such other relief as the court deems just and proper. All defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint, with the motion fully briefed as of February 23, 2024. On September 25, 2024, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motion to dismiss, dismissing the claims based on the Company’s growth prospects statements but allowing certain other claims to proceed. On October 9, 2024, defendants moved for reconsideration of the September 25, 2024 order and/or for certification under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), which motion was fully submitted as of October 30, 2024. In response to an application filed by defendants on November 19, 2024, on November 20, 2024, the Court issued an order adjourning defendants’ deadline to file an answer to the amended complaint sine die. On May 16, 2025, the Court issued an order granting Defendants’ motion to extend the time to answer the amended complaint until after the motion for reconsideration is resolved. The Court also determined that a phased approach to discovery was appropriate so as to permit the exchange of “key documents” and to promote the preservation of documents and evidence and directed the parties to submit a proposed initial discovery plan, which they did. The Court approved the initial discovery plan on June 3, 2025. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the amended complaint and any liability for such claims is not currently probable and the potential loss or range of loss is not reasonably estimable. On October 18, 2024, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative stockholder derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company in the Eastern District of New York against certain of the Company’s officers and directors (“Defendants”), and nominally against the Company, entitled Bandyopadhyay v. Hyman, et al., 24-cv-7321. The complaint, which is largely predicated on the same alleged facts and violations alleged in the Securities Action, asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste, and contribution and indemnification and seeks an award of damages, certain equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The lawsuit is in its preliminary stages. On December 31, 2024, the Court issued an order staying the derivative action until the resolution of any motions for summary judgment in the Securities Action or notification of a settlement in-principle in the Securities Action, whichever occurs earlier. Defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves against these claims and believe that they have meritorious defenses to the claims asserted in the complaint.
