Brand Highlight: Columbia® Brand

Do you love spending time outdoors? How about your customers? Columbia® brand makes products that can survive the greatest adventures from slippery ski slopes to the fishing at the coast. Learn all about how they got started, what makes Columbia so popular, and we at pens.com can help you use their products to promote your own brand. 

History of the Columbia® Brand

Columbia is based in Portland, Oregan and specializes in outdoor apparel and products. But it didn’t start out that way. The very beginning of the Columbia brand started in 1937 when Gert Boyle’s parents fled Nazi Germany to live in Portland. There, they purchased a hat company that they named The Columbia Hat Company. Gert’s husband inherited the company from her parents and then Gert herself took over when her husband passed.  

Gert Boyle is now cited by the company as the founder of their company, inspiring their brand with her “legendary perfectionism” and high standards. They also cite the location itself as inspiration for their modern brand, thanks to the “lush mountains, snow-covered mountains, rugged coastline, and wide-open spaces” of the Pacific Northwest. This love of the outdoors and dedication to perfection is what Columbia brings to their brand and their products. 

What Everyone Loves About the Columbia® Brand

The Columbia brand is most famous for its outdoor apparel, offering durable and stylish options for all sorts of activities from camping, hiking, skiing, fishing, golf, and everything in between. They also offer a variety of high-quality footwear, making them a great place to get fully outfitted for all sorts of outdoor adventures. But this brand is much more than just a clothing line. This brand also offers camping equipment like tents, sleeping bags, camping cookware, backpacks, and more.  

But what we love most about Columbia is their high-quality drinkware, including Columbia water bottles and thermal mugs. Their mugs and thermoses are durable, stylish, and conveniently constructed to be easy to use and carry on all sorts of outdoor activities.
