Turnover: 3.623 billion USD (2020)
Country: United States
The first Abercrombie & Fitch store opened in New York in 1892 as a hiking and hunting store.
Today, Abercrombie & Fitch is a casual luxury brand with a high-end positioning. The brand's flagship products include T-shirts, polo shirts and vintage-style jeans. The ambiance of its boutiques is unique, with low lighting, loud background music and scented clothes in store. The group has over 1,000 points of sale, including 300 in the United States.
Nevertheless, it has been the subject of numerous lawsuits and controversies for its management practices, discriminatory recruitment practices and aggressive communication choices, such as the decision not to offer XL and XXL sizes, in order to limit its clientele to "slim and beautiful" people.
Brands owned by the group include Abercrombie & Fitch, Abercrombie kids and Hollister.
