Our Journey

Since our founding in 1980, Orly has grown from a small entrepreneurial venture into a diversified fashion business spanning more than 20 brands and multiple product categories. Founder Albert began the company with a clear vision and limited resources, building the business through innovation, strong partnerships, and an ability to evolve with the market. In 1985, Orly entered an important new chapter with a move to the Empire State Building, where the company continued to expand its presence within the fashion industry.

Another significant milestone came in 2012 with the launch of our socks category, which quickly grew to rival footwear in sales and became an important part of the company’s broader expansion. Since then, Orly has continued to diversify its portfolio across footwear, accessories, and other consumer categories, building on more than four decades of entrepreneurial growth. Today, headquartered in Midtown Manhattan just steps from the Empire State Building, Orly continues to evolve while remaining grounded in the vision and entrepreneurial spirit that shaped the company from the beginning.
