Lucy Activewear—occasionally presented as "lucy"—was previously known as Lucy.com,[3] and operated as a U.S.-based apparel retailer headquartered in Alameda, California. Established in November 1999 by former executives from Nike,[4] the company focused on women's activewear, offering apparel suitable for activities such as yoga. It developed, produced, and retailed its own lines of garments including jackets, bras, tops, and bottoms.[1][2][3]

Originally launched as an exclusively online retailer, Lucy transitioned to physical retail locations in 2002 following the collapse of the dot-com bubble. During this period, the company temporarily ceased its e-commerce operations and rebranded from "Lucy.com" to "Lucy Activewear".[3] Despite its Portland roots, the brand did not establish retail outlets within Oregon until two years later when stores opened in Portland's Pearl District, Portland, Oregon#Pearl District and at Bridgeport Village.[5] At its peak, Lucy operated 60 stores nationwide with a strong concentration in California.[1]

The company's corporate offices were located in the KOIN Center situated in downtown Portland.[6]

On August 24, 2007, Lucy Activewear was purchased by North Carolina–based parent company VF Corporation (NYSE: VFC) for $110 million.[1] [2]

In early 2017, the majority of Lucy’s retail locations were shuttered as the brand was consolidated into the portfolio of The North Face under the ownership of the VF Corporation.[7]
