General info :
Free People is an American bohemian apparel and lifestyle brand name used by URBN US Retail LLC.
The companysells women’s clothing and accessories,

Back in the 1970's, a young man named Dick Hayne planted a seed in the maze of streets and trees that make up West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He opened a store and called it Free People. Free People nurtured the young people who lived there and shopped there, who looked for a little of their own freedom in the clothes they wore.

As Dick's store grew from one to two, the name was changed from Free People to Urban Outfitters.

In time, his wife Meg came on to tend Urban's private label division, which supported product exclusive to Urban Outfitters. Demand was almost immediate and to meet this overwhelming need, she and Dick decided to create a wholesale line. It was very well-received, so much so that Dick separated the businesses. For a while, the wholesale line took on many personalities: Bulldog, Ecote, Cooperative, Anthropologie, and then in 1984 a new life was breathed into the name Free People.

Free People shed its junior image and evolved into a more mature, contemporary brand. This allowed twenty-something women to appreciate the line of clothing that catered to their intelligence, creativity and individuality, while keeping with its great quality and affordability.


Free People has four wholesale showrooms - in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London.Their line sells in over 1,400 specialty stores worldwide.

Their very first boutique opened in Paramus, New Jersey in the fall of 2002.

Free People also launched a virtual journey through FreePeople.com in October 2004. In 2012 Free People launched a Free People UK site followed by our Free People China site in 2014. The sites have found great success with online shoppers around the world who are looking for a little something special in their online experience.

Free People is part of URBN US Retail LLC, a portfolio company of global consumer brands.
