It operates mainly through two platforms, Rue La La and Gilt, which offer access to over 5,000 high-end brands at prices reduced by up to 70% off retail. The company focuses on off-price retail, selling excess inventory from brands at lower prices than traditional stores. This model not only helps brands clear unsold stock but also attracts fashion-conscious consumers seeking affordable luxury items. Rue Gilt Groupe differentiates itself by providing exclusive deals and limited-time sales events, creating excitement and urgency for customers. Its goal is to offer a unique shopping experience while maintaining a loyal customer base that returns for new deals.
