History

Vineyard Vines was founded in 1998 by two brothers in Martha’s Vineyard and became a defining brand of modern American prep.

Known for its smiling whale logo, pastel colors, and coastal-inspired prints, the brand captured a relaxed, affluent, beach-town aesthetic.

Vineyard Vines helped turn East Coast preppy style into a nationwide casual uniform.
