The lucy brand was created to inspire active women to celebrate their individuality in style and sport. As a specialty retailer, lucy offers a unique selection of activewear from hard-to-find niche brands, traditional performance brands, as well as the exclusive lucy label, which features designs with unparalleled style, fit, and function. Launched in November 1999, the Portland, OR-based company has charted an unconventional path to success. Debuting as lucy.com online, the company successfully shifted its focus to brick-and-mortar stores in 2001. By the end of 2004, it will operate 15 stores throughout the Western United States. Led by a management team with extensive sports and specialty retailing industry experience, and backed by venture capital firms Sutter Hill Ventures, Maveron LLC, Oak Investment Partners and Lone Pine Capital, lucy is poised to become a major retail brand.
