Orvis Women's Fashion Brand

Orvis is a family-owned retail and mail-order business specializing in high-end fly fishing, hunting and sporting goods. Founded in Manchester, Vermont, in 1856 by Charles F. Orvis to sell fishing tackle, it is the oldest mail-order retailer in the United States. That founding date makes Orvis the oldest company in this letter by a wide margin - and the only one whose first business, fishing tackle by post, explains both its mail-order mastery and its sporting clothing range.

Today, Orvis is the trusted source of discovery and adventure in the natural world, in the brand's words. The Orvis collection of women's clothing is designed to complement your lifestyle, and since their founding more than 150 years ago, Orvis has taken pride in outfitting their female customers with products that truly reflect their style, values and high standards for quality. The women's range is therefore not an afterthought line: outfitting female customers is a founding-era practice continued, with the same quality standard applied.

Tested Rigorously, Crafted From the Best Materials

Their women's clothing collections are crafted from the best materials the world has to offer, and tested rigorously in real-life situations. Combining inspired, well-informed design with exacting standards, their products are certain to please, guaranteed. Those are checkable product claims, and a shopper should check them: materials named on the label, construction tested at seams and hardware, and the guarantee itself read before purchase, since a guarantee is a product feature with terms, not a slogan.

The Orvis company tailors their women's apparel to a women's distinctive sensibility. All of the products in their collection share a fundamental sense of taste, allowing you to combine different items into a flawless ensemble with ease. Their jackets and blazers marry comfort and function with timeless, versatile looks, so they can carry you with style from one phase of your day to the next. Shop the range as that system describes it: a jacket or blazer chosen as the working outer layer, knitwear and separates chosen to combine across the collection, and footwear and accessories - the brand's women's clothing page covers all three - picked to the same taste standard rather than matched piece by piece.

More Than 160 Years of the Natural World

For more than 160 years the Orvis mission has been to guide its patrons to lead more fulfilling lives through a deep personal connection to the adventure and wonders of the natural world. Read against the 1856 founding, the mission statement and the product statement are the same claim at two lengths: a tackle company that sold connection to the outdoors by mail became a clothing company whose women's range is designed, tested and guaranteed for a life partly lived outside.
