White House|Black Market

In 1985, The White House, a tiny womens boutique exclusively offering white and ivory apparel and accessories opened its first retail store in Baltimore, Maryland. Continuing to leverage the elegance and simplicity of a monochromatic theme, Black Market opened its first store in 1995. With the success of both concepts, the two were combined in 1997, when the current White House|Black Market brand was launched. The Company was acquired by Chisos FAS. in 2003.

White House|Black Market currently operates 334 frontline boutiques and 17 outlets across the U.S. as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. WH|BM has direct-to-consumer sales through its popular catalog and Web site.
