About Us

Our co-chief executive officers founded REVOLVE in 2003 with the vision of leveraging digital channels and technology to transform the shopping experience, offering a scaled, one-stop destination for youthful, aspirational consumers. We believe that our model is more targeted and curated than premium department stores, and provides a greater selection and access than specialty retailers, which allows us to more effectively serve the next-generation consumer.

To improve on the merchandise offerings of traditional retail, we have built a custom, proprietary technology platform to manage nearly all aspects of our business, with a particular focus on developing sophisticated and highly automated inventory management, pricing and trend-forecasting algorithms. Our proprietary technology leverages a comprehensive data net that encompasses millions of styles, attributes and customer interactions forming a strategic asset of hundreds of millions of data points. We have complemented these efforts with an organization built from the ground up to make decisions in a data-first, customer-centric way. Our approach facilitates constant newness, with over 1,900 new styles launched per week on average in 2024. Illustrating the efficacy of our data-driven merchandising, in 2024, approximately 82% of our net sales were at full price, which we believe is appreciably higher than industry benchmarks. We define net sales at full price as sales with a price of not less than 95% of the full retail price.

Our powerful brands and innovative marketing strategy connect with the growing next-generation customer demographics. We have built a large community of influencer and brand partners, including thousands of influencers enrolled in our proprietary brand ambassador program, as well as some of the most influential celebrities in the world such as our FWRD Creative Director, Kendall Jenner. Through our strong brand, deep relationships and history of mutually beneficial partnerships, we believe we have become a partner of choice for influencers worldwide. These marketing efforts deliver authentic, aspirational experiences and lifestyle content that drive long-term loyalty and engagement with our community of brands, customers and influencers. We complement our experiential brand marketing with sophisticated, data-driven performance marketing, the combination of which drives customer acquisition and retention that are key drivers of our customer lifetime value.

Our data-driven merchandising and marketing competencies enable an owned brand strategy that further differentiates our merchandise assortment, provides increased control of our supply chain and has the opportunity to expand gross profit margins over the long-term. We have built a portfolio of 29 owned brands, each crafted with unique attributes with pricing similar to that of premium third-party brands, supported by dedicated marketing investments. We believe our consumers perceive these as highly desirable, independent brands, rather than private labels or house brands. In 2024, our owned brands represented five out of our top ten brands in the REVOLVE segment and contributed 18.2% of the REVOLVE segment’s net sales.
