About Tribal: The Brand, and Buying It Here

Tribal is one of the brands we are asked about most, and one of the few where the fit reputation is genuinely earned. Here is the brand in short, plus the one policy point worth being clear about.

The Brand

Who is Tribal?

A women's clothing brand founded in Montreal, Canada — in their words, more than 50 years ago — to create clothing for a community of like-minded women.

What year was Tribal founded?

Tribal does not publish a founding year, only “more than 50 years ago.” We could give you a number, but it would be a guess, and a guess about a brand's own history is not worth much.

Who designs Tribal?

Tribal's own line is that their clothing is designed by women for women. They describe garments as crafted with attention to detail using premium fabrics, with style experts working to keep fit consistent across the range.

How widely is Tribal sold?

Tribal says it is carried in over 2,000 specialty boutiques and online retailers across North America. We are one of those boutiques, here in Marble Falls.

What They Make

What categories does Tribal cover?

Tops, bottoms, jeans, dresses, active and lounge, outerwear, and the Tribal+ Plus line. Their size chart also covers skirts, skorts, capris, bermudas, leggings, jeggings and swimwear.

What is Tribal best known for?

Fit, and their Flatten It technology — a built-in tummy-control panel that shows up across pull-ons, trousers, capris, leggings and even swimwear. Their denim program is the other pillar.

Does Tribal do collaborations?

Yes — XIX Palms is one. They also publish seasonal lookbooks each season.

What do you carry here?

Call us at 830-693-7573 and we will tell you what is actually on the floor. Boutiques buy from seasonal wholesale lookbooks, so our assortment is a curated slice of the full Tribal range rather than all of it — and colors shown on Tribal's own website may never have come through here.

Can you order something you don't have?

Sometimes, through our Tribal rep. Ask us and we will find out what is available and how long it would take.

Buying It Here

What is your return policy on Tribal?

Ask us directly at 830-693-7573, or see our FAQ page for our general return terms.

The reason we are not quoting Tribal's policy here is that it does not apply. Tribal's 30-day terms govern purchases on their own website only.

I bought Tribal on their website. Can I return it here?

No, and this is Tribal's own rule rather than ours. In their words: purchases made online must be returned to a Tribal distribution center and cannot be returned to a retailer, because their retail partners are independent stores.

It works the other way too — something bought here comes back to us, not to Tribal.

What if a Tribal garment has a manufacturing fault?

Bring it in or call us at 830-693-7573. Tribal handles defects on their own orders; a garment bought here is ours to make right, and we would rather you came to us first.

Do Tribal's loyalty points work here?

We do not know, and Tribal does not say either way on any of their pages, so we are not going to guess. Ask us and we will check with our rep.

Our own Accents Points program does apply to everything you buy here, including Tribal.
