Founded in 1970, Urban Outfitters grew from a small store in Philadelphia. In addition to North America, it also has its own stores and markets in Europe. Currently, Urban Outfitters has three brands under its umbrella: Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and Free People. Urban Outfitters is the pioneer of Indie-Rock (home culture) apparel in the United States. It doesn't mass-produce products or rely on heavy advertising, only offering affordable, stylish, and high-end goods.
Urban Outfitters' product lines mainly include: women's clothing, men's clothing, ties, scarves, accessories, and sportswear. The website sells its own designed brands as well as other brands, including various trendy labels. On the Urban Outfitters US official website, you can find clothing, shoes, and boots from major brands such as Puma, Champion, Adidas, FILA, Levi’s, Calvin Klein, MadeMe, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, Vans, etc. In addition, there are various home decor items like furniture, lighting, rugs, curtains, art + decor, kitchen + bar, board games, and more. Besides these, you can also find many skincare products and perfumes, such as Mario Badescu.
