Anthropologie is an American retail chain specializing in a curated selection of clothing, accessories, home decor, furniture, beauty products, and gifts. Targeting a bohemian and eclectic aesthetic, they cater primarily to women and operate stores across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom.
In 1970, Richard Hayne and Scott Belair, former Lehigh University roommates and then classmates at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton Business School, started a retail store named Free People. Hayne later conceptualized Anthropologie, a brand aimed at women aged 30 to 45.
In the fall of 1992, Anthropologie opened its first independent store, located in a renovated auto shop in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
In 1998, Anthropologie launched both a mail-order catalog and its first website.
Anthropologie expanded internationally in 2009, opening its first store in London, England, and its first Canadian store in Toronto at the Shops at Don Mills.
In 2018, following an exposé on the mohair industry in South Africa, Anthropologie joined other fashion retailers in banning the sale of mohair products.
Urban Outfitters opened the first Anthropologie Home Outlet in Pittsburgh in October 2019, specializing exclusively in home furnishings.
In 2020, Anthropologie faced protests for not complying with PETA's call to stop selling items made with alpaca hair.
Hillary Super stepped down as CEO of Anthropologie in April 2021, and Tricia D. Smith, with 26 years of experience at Nordstrom, took over as Anthropologie's global CEO.
