Patagonia Ventura

Story

Patagonia, Inc. is an American clothing company that sells outdoor clothing marketed as sustainable. The company was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, and is based in Ventura, California. Its logo is the skyline of Cerro Fitz Roy in Patagonia.HistoryYvon Chouinard, an accredited rock climber, began selling hand forged mountain climbing gear in 1957 through his company Chouinard Equipment. He worked alone selling his gear until 1965 when he partnered with Tom Frost in order to improve his products and address the growing supply and demand issue he faced.In 1970, Chouinard obtained rugby shirts from Scotland that he wore while climbing because the collar kept the climbing sling from hurting his neck. Collared shirts were then designed and implemented into his merchandise line and quickly became the primary product sold. Chouinard Equipment was forced to file for bankruptcy in 1989 when it lost a series of lawsuits claiming "failure to inform" of safety issues related to usage of climbing hardware including one filed by the survivors of a climber who died in a fall after slipping out of a Chouinard climbing harness. The resultant increases in their product liability insurance were cited by Chouinard as the reason they stopped making climbing gear. The liquidated assets of the climbing gear side were purchased for $900,000 by Chouinard's longtime partner, Peter Metcalf, and reorganized as Black Diamond Equipment. Yvon Chouinard retained the profitable soft goods (clothing) division of the company which had already been rebranded as Patagonia.

Dear Patagonia, Thank you for the incredible kindness you showed my family after the Thomas fire took our home. We walked in the store to take advantage of the 40% off Christmas sale, and when we arrived to the register and fumbled over our zip code (not knowing which to give with our house in ashes), your gracious employees ripped the tags off the clothing, and handed us the jackets we had lost to the flames. Your generosity made my mom cry. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All our best, Ventura Family

To all that mention "pricey"....you get what you pay for. I have Patagonia gear that I've been wearing for 40+ years. If you ever have a problem with an item they will either repair or replace. The flagship store is beautiful and like all Patagonia retail outlets, extremely professional and knowledgeable staff. A pleasure to visit any and all.

It's a small store with less merchandise than I've seen at other Patagonia stores, but as it is the flagship store, it makes the shopping experience a tad bit more special. Visit at least once if you are stopping or driving by Ventura. Parking is easy and it's close to downtown, making it a nice stop after lunch.

The nicest people and store I have ever been in. I so enjoyed talking to everyone. Professional, gracious and so knowledgeable. Thank you for the wonderful yoga classes, I know it is a lot of work to move the merchandise each week. Very much appreciated.
