The Drop
Since launching in early 2019, Amazon’s The Drop has become a stand-out in the world of online fashion brands. Partnering with big names such as Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Miranda Kerr, Katie Sturino, and many more, The Drop has developed an iconic brand image and has positioned itself as a strong player in the exclusive fashion market. Merely scrolling through @amazonthedrop on Instagram highlights the sheer breadth of Amazon’s exploration of global street styles from a diverse set of influencers. With new and upcoming designers constantly in the works, The Drop is continuing as a strong force in the digital fashion industry.
A Quick Refresher
For those unfamiliar with The Drop — it’s a limited edition private-label line that has enjoyed great success collaborating with notable Instagram influencers who have a loyal, engaged following. While collections are available to shop for 30 hours, many have sold out in just minutes. As we explored in late 2019, Amazon has developed a recipe for success that combines the exclusivity of high fashion with the loyal customer bases of influencers — both household names and more niche internet celebrities.
Limited-Edition Fashion vs On-Trend Staples
Exclusivity is The Drop’s special sauce, so the attentive consumer may be surprised by the presence of a brand store for the service. To complement their limited-edition partnership styles, Amazon offers a modest collection of on-trend staples that are available for purchase at any time. These wear-on-repeat styles offer fashionable foundations that pair well with exclusives from The Drop — both new and old.
However, the limited-edition styles from The Drop, designed through partnerships, are only available for 30 hours or while supplies last — whichever comes first. While not every new style from The Drop is a runaway success, their high-quality products have had consistently strong showings and financial success.
