About Stein Mart
Our Story
It Started With One Store in Greenville, Mississippi, in 1908.
More than a century later, we still shop the way that first store did: for the good things, at a price that feels smart.
Designer Brands for Less, Picked With Taste.
Stein Mart has always been a little different from other off-price stores. We look for the brands you already know and trust, choose the pieces worth your closet and your home, and price them so it feels smart to say yes. Less digging. More finding.
Since 1908
Four Generations, One Good Idea.
1908
A Store on the Delta. A family opens a general store in Greenville, Mississippi.
1932
Quality, for Less. The next generation turns to clothing, buying makers’ extras so neighbors could afford quality. Off-price, before anyone called it that.
1964
The Stein Mart Name. The first store called Stein Mart opens in Greenville.
1977
The Boutique Opens. A designer Boutique arrives, run by women in town who knew good clothes when they saw them.
Today
The Same Eye, Online. The same edit and the same idea, now wherever you are.
The Boutique
The Friends Who Always Called First.
In every town, our Boutique was run by local women who wore the brands they sold. They helped decide what came in, set aside the good pieces, and picked up the phone when something special arrived. In some cities, there was a waiting list to join them.
That is the job we’ve given ourselves online: to be the friend with the inside word.
We saved you a first look.
How We Shop for You Today
Brands You Know
Designer names you already trust, for less than you’d expect.
Picked for You
Fewer, better things, gathered for the way you live: a wedding to attend, a trip to pack for, a guest room to freshen.
Smart, Never Cheap
The price confirms you made a smart choice. It is never the only reason to say yes.
