Anthropologie was founded in 1992 by a small group of people with a love for making things that inspire the imagination. Over the past decade, we have traveled the globe, broken new ground with our catalog and web design, and most significantly of all, found customers who are our soulmates on this journey. Our core customer is 30 to 45, educated, fashionable, creative, and youthful. She values family and friends and loves shopping in the vibrant environments we create for her. Our unique and eclectic product assortment is carefully designed and selected with an eye for craftsmanship and detail. It includes women's casual apparel and accessories, home furnishings and a diverse array of gifts and decorative items. Our home furnishings range from furniture, rugs, lighting and antiques to table top items, bedding and gifts. Currently, we operate more than 100 Anthropologie retail stores in the United States; our direct business now ships to 34 countries.
