David Abercrombie opened the first Abercrombie store in New York in 1892. A former topographer, surveyor, trapper and prospector who still held his love of the outdoors, he had been inspired to continue his passion by creating quality goods for others to embark on their own adventures. A frequent customer to Abercrombie's store/shops was avid fisherman and climber Ezra Fitch. Fitch persuaded Abercrombie to become alliance and partners in business and in 1904 the shop became Abercrombie & Fitch.
Fitch retired in 1928 and the company goes on and continued to thrive until the 1960s. In 1977, Abercrombie & Fitch went bankrupt and could not recover until late into the next decade. Today's Abercrombie & Fitch Abercrombie & Fitch was bought by Limited Brands dated in 1988. The focus shifted from outdoor goods and items to casual yet fashionable lifestyle clothing targeted to young adults and teens and from upper-middle-income families. And the rest is history.
