Portmans started over 60 years ago and evolved into what we know today. Now in 2010, Portmans are always thinking about what you want in a wardrobe. Giving you great quality in the hottest new looks is very important to Portmans.

The Bloom family established Portmans in the 1940’s. Joseph Bloom and his sons were initially manufacturers, supplying women’s fashion to the retail market. It was in 1946 that they opened their first retail store in Victoria’s Swanston Street, Melbourne City. The Blooms were careful to set prices in the low to medium range – affordable fashion was the key to their foray into retail.

The Portmans brand started to grow in the 1960’s within Victoria and expanded to become, in the early 80’s, the national chain it is today.

In the 1980’s Portmans introduced the advertising positioning statement ‘Get the Look’ and a logo that reflected the time. It was then that the ‘Portmans Girl’ strategy was introduced, based on having one model/ girl represent the brand values – femininity, value, reliability, friendliness, success, youth, fashion and fun. The first Portmans Girl was Alison Brae, who remained so for about two or three years. From here Portmans changed the model/ girl every 12 to 18 months.

The Portmans girl is glamourous, polished, playful and pretty. She is a metropolitan fashionista who lives works and play inner city. Her look is ever evolving and each season she wants to look new and on trend. She is inspired by her surrounds and find beauty and inspiration in the urban jungle that is her home.

Since acquiring the Portmans brand in June 2002 The Just group has been able to reposition the brand as one of Australia’s premier fashion retail brands for women aged 16 – 30. It is a destination that arms girls with the fashion know-how and attitude they need to confidently navigate through this self-defining stage of their lives. A destination that not only helps girls who are going places, but delivers everything they need to get on top.

With exciting plans for its continued growth, 2010 saw the opening of an exciting flagship store in Mid City NSW with plans to continue investing in the not only the retail space but the brand as whole, Portmans aims to be the number 1 destination for girls going places.

In May 2002, Just Jeans holdings acquired the Portmans brand and retail stores. The Just Group now have an annual turnover exceeding $700 million. The group operates over 900 retail stores in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and employs over 6,000 people. The company has grown from humble family beginnings and is now part of one of Australia’s fastest growing retail corporations.
