Boston Proper
Boston Proper is a Florida-based fashion company offering specialty clothing, swimwear, footwear, and accessories for women, with headquarters in Boca Raton.[1] [2] [3][4] It provides contemporary women’s clothing via direct-to-consumer retail services and sells its products exclusively through its catalog and website.[1] The company was founded in 1992 under The Mark Group (originally Mark, Force & Strike).[5] The Mark Group, Inc. changed the company name to Boston Proper in February 2004.[6][7]
At its inception, the brand was established as a specialty cataloger, and over the decade following, expanded into the brick and mortar space. [2] Boston Proper’s expansion into retail outlets occurred under the ownership of Chicos FAS, Inc., who acquired the brand in 2011.[8][9] In 2016, Boston Proper was sold to Brentwood Associates, a private equity investment firm in Los Angeles.[2][10]
Every year, Boston Proper hosts a Proper Affair Cocktail Party & Fashion Show, which is a live fashion show recognizing inspirational women within the community.[11] The event benefits the Achievement Centers for Children & Families (ACCF)[11]
