Since its inception in 2001, Joie has successfully filled a void in the contemporary market. Unlike other brands, which are classification-driven and offer single items such as denim or graphic tees, Joie provides the modern, fashion-savvy customer with a global wardrobe. Though the company got its start with its signature cargos, today it's best known for offering feminine tops, dresses and cashmere sweaters. The Joie concept has always been "Casual, Comfortable and Luxurious". Therefore, each piece that is designed encompasses a balance of these three key elements�one cannot exist without the other.
