White House Black Market began in 1985 as a single, tiny
neighborhood boutique in Baltimore, Maryland called The
White House, which offered unique, individual
collections of fabulous clothing and accessories in
shades of white and ivory. Expanding on its original
theme, it opened Black Market in 1995, and in 1997,
combined the boutiques into one concept, and White House
Black Market was born.
Throughout everything, its passion has always been to
make women feel beautiful. And its clothing remains a
symbol of the honest simplicity of black and white, and
the remarkable individuality of the different styles it
builds from it.
