Brand history

The American company Columbia appeared at the beginning of the XX century. She has a very interesting and unusual story. The founders of the brand was a Jewish family, which began to build its small business even in Germany. But fear forced Paul and Marie Lamfrom, together with her little daughter, to leave everything and move to live in the USA.

In 1938, the couple Lamfrom acquired a small hat making company in Oregon. She called Columbia Hat Company. Near the house Lamfrom flowed a small river Columbia. Then they started making gear and clothing for fishermen.

After 10 years, the daughter marries Neil Boyle, who later becomes the support of her father in the development of the company. Although Gertrude spent more time with children than at work, but She invented a famous fishing jacket with a large number of pockets. She brought the company huge popularity.

After the death of Paul, Neil Boyle becomes the head of the company. It was during his leadership that the brand became known not only in the United States, but also in other countries of the world. Neil put a lot of effort into the development of the company. He was confident in his success, so he took a lot of loans for business. But soon Neal died of a heart attack, and Gertrude became head of the company.

The debts, inexperience and strikes of the workers resulted in Gertrude’s decision to sell the family business. But buyers did not queue up. Only one buyer agreed to buy the company for a small price, but without debts.

Gertrude, having enlisted the support of her son, decided to once again try to promote the company. Her son put a lot of effort to help his mother. A very popular sporty style has become fashionable, and brand products have begun to be in demand. And in 1978, the company brought the first million.

At the peak of popularity, Gertrude herself created a BUGABOO jacket, ideal for fishing, with her own hands. Affordable price, lightness and comfort in any weather brought this jacket great fame. In 1984, the Columbia brand produces several commercials that bring him fame throughout the world.

After 10 years, the brand became a sponsor of the Olympic Games, and its clothes were ideal for people who prefer an active lifestyle. Columbia has been sold in Russia for 15 years.
