About us

Talbots began from a singular & personal vision, inspired by a joy of discovery and fueled by a commitment to timeless and timely fashion, extraordinary quality and memorable service.   In 1947, Rudy and Nancy Talbot, two passionate and entrepreneurial New Englanders, put an ad in The New Yorker. And what started out as 3000 fliers ultimately became a catalog with a cult following—treasured for its spirited voice and modern classic product. Soon they moved into an historic Hingham, Massachusetts, house where they painted the front door a welcoming red to signal that here was an oasis of inspiration and hospitality.   Through the decades, Talbots has expanded beyond New England and developed a devoted following of smart shoppers who rely on gracious service, great quality, timeless pieces—and Talbots famous "surprise and delight."   Today Talbots is a dynamic combination of heritage and innovation, translating the original Talbots DNA for today's culture. Our omni-channel expression includes 500 core and outlet stores, throughout the country and Canada, and a growing e-commerce business.   Learn more about Talbots visit talbots.com/aboutus

    What are Talbots' summer interns up to? We're glad you asked! Our crew of 11 of interns based in our Massachusetts headquarters—representing various departments such as finance, marketing, design, and more—are immersing themselves in Talbots. During store tours last week, they had an opportunity to visit three locations, including the very first Talbots store on North Street in Hingham. Store managers guided them through key touchpoints and demonstrated how our associates create the personalized customer experiences we're known for. We're thrilled to have these talented individuals with us for the summer, sharing their fresh perspectives and contributing to their departments! ✨ #LifeAtTalbots #Internships

    We're celebrating Pride Month with Nancy Sargent, who helps foster a sense of belonging across our family of brands through her co-leadership role on our Pride at Work associate resource group. Hear from Nancy about what her involvement in the Pride at Work group means to her and why she chooses to build a career with our family of brands. #Pride2024

    Celebrate Pride Month with us! Meet our Pride at Work leaders for 2024. These are associates who volunteer to lead one of our associate resource groups: Pride at Work. The mission of this group is for LGBTQIA+ associates and allies across KnitWell Group’s brands—Ann Taylor, Lane Bryant, LOFT, and Talbots—to network, share common experiences, and foster an environment where everyone can be their most authentic selves. Their leadership helps to shape a culture of inclusion and belonging to uplift and celebrate each and every associate. We asked our Pride at Work leaders to share how they celebrate Pride not just in this month, but year-round! Swipe to check out their responses. Grateful for these leaders who help create an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves. Thank you for all you do to make our brands more inclusive places to work! 🌈 #Pride2024 #Talbots
