Company Profile
Current collections are on J.Jill's own site, linked above; the shop box covers J.Jill products sold through Amazon and eBay. The ownership steps in the record below predate the current listing in part: Talbots acquired J.Jill in 2006, Golden Gate Capital bought it in 2009, and the company returned to the public markets in 2017. The earlier record - the natural-elements design language, the four size ranges and the store and e-commerce description of its period - is kept in full on the history page.
The guiding customer experience runs through more than 280 stores nationwide and a robust e-commerce platform, and the company is headquartered outside Boston. Two channels, one experience: the profile's omnichannel claim is stated plainly, without a store-by-store list, and the filing closes its summary with the housekeeping note that the information on its website is not incorporated by reference into the profile - a reminder that this page preserves what the company filed here, on this site, in its own words.
