THE STORY OF PORTS
The name "Ports" evokes the imagery of gateways to new experiences and adventures, symbolising a passage between different times and cultures. Born in the vibrant port city of Toronto in 1961, Ports' journey began with a creative spark that led to the birth of the iconic Number 10 blouse. This blouse, with its standout design and impeccable tailoring, represented a novelty at the time, capturing the essence of independent and modern women seeking attire that resonated with their evolving lifestyles. The brand quickly became synonymous with power dressing, offering a wardrobe that allowed women to effortlessly balance the demands of both their professional and personal lives.
Throughout it's evolution, creating Le System, Ports has remained at the forefront of fashion, pioneering new markets and expanding its offerings to cater to a diverse clientele. In the 1990s, Ports made significant strides in the Chinese market, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive in different cultural landscapes. Building on its legacy of innovation, the brand launched the 1961 label in 2004, further solidifying its position as a purveyor of sophisticated and contemporary fashion. Not content to rest on its laurels, Ports extended its reach in 2011 with the introduction of menswear under the Ports 1961 label, demonstrating its commitment to continuous growth and exploration in the ever-evolving world of fashion.
During the 60+ years of its history, wandering has remained at the core of Ports DNA.
