Anthropologie is an American retailer offering a curated mix of clothing, accessories, home furniture, decor, and beauty products. Founded in 1992 by Richard Hayne, the company is a brand of URBN (Urban Outfitters, Inc.) and is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Anthropologie operates approximately 200 retail stores across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, along with a comprehensive e-commerce platform.
The brand is known for its distinctively bohemian and eclectic aesthetic, targeting women aged 28 to 45 who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship, unique textiles, and globally inspired design. Anthropologie's home collection is a significant part of the brand, featuring furniture, decor, and textiles that blend vintage charm with contemporary sensibilities. The stores are renowned for their elaborate visual merchandising and window displays, which are designed by in-house artists.
The home product range includes upholstered furniture, dining tables and chairs, bed frames, dressers, rugs, curtains, bedding, quilts, kitchen and dining items, candles, decorative objects, wall art, and hardware such as unique drawer knobs and pulls. Anthropologie is particularly noted for its hand-painted ceramics, globally sourced textiles, monogrammed mugs, and one-of-a-kind decorative items that blend artisan techniques with contemporary design.
Anthropologie offers a loyalty program called AnthroPerks that provides members with birthday discounts, early access to sales, and special events. The company also operates Anthropologie Home, a dedicated home goods store concept in select locations, and publishes extensive editorial content on its website covering home styling, entertaining, and seasonal decorating.
