What Armoire does

Armoire is a Seattle-based women's clothing rental subscription service founded in 2016 by CEO Ambika Singh. The company offers customers recurring access to contemporary designer and brand-name apparel for special occasions (weddings, graduations, travel) and everyday professional or casual wear, with unlimited exchanges, home delivery and returns, and a "try before you buy" purchase option. The business is primarily B2C, targeting women seeking wardrobe variety without the cost and commitment of ownership, segmented across occasional, work, and travel use cases.

The product portfolio centers on a monthly subscription rental service available in Classic and Maternity plans, supplemented by the Armoire Go flagship boutique in Seattle, a curated sub-brand called The Suite, an e-commerce Shop, gift cards, and iOS and Android mobile applications. Pricing is structured around monthly subscriptions, with a disclosed promotional entry point of $99 for 10 items on a 7-item plan in the first month (code PERFECT10). The platform is cloud-based with mobile apps, and in April 2026 Armoire launched an AI-powered outfit selection feature to help customers visualize and select garments. Underlying technology includes recommendation engine capabilities and an emerging machine learning capability following the March 2026 hire of an ML lead.

Armoire has raised approximately $11.3M in disclosed funding across multiple rounds from 2016 through 2021, with investors including Notable Capital, Halogen Ventures, Rough Draft Ventures, and MIT delta v. The company has been featured in The New York Times and Vogue, and CEO Ambika Singh, who holds an MIT MBA and previously worked at Microsoft and Rover.com, was named to the Puget Sound Business Journal 40 Under 40 list in 2018. Recent strategic activity includes a Valentine's Day partnership with Taelor (February 2025), a B2B technology integration with Fierce Entertainment for AI-powered virtual try-on (January 2026), an ML lead hire (March 2026), and the AI outfit selection feature launch (April 2026). The company has reported growth of more than 300% since launch.
