Name

The name Bluefly was born from the idea that web businesses should be fast and willing to change direction. And so the‘fly’ concept was born. The color blue was used because it started with the letter "B", and at the time, the portals alphabetized their apparel departments. Not coincidentally, at the time the company was named in 1998, Bluefly itself was evolving rapidly. Its predecessor company, Pivot Rules, Inc., sold its only asset, a golf apparel company, Pivot Rules. All that was left in the public company, was cash, a few energized employees and an idea to build an online retailer of discounted designer clothing. And, true to the spirit of its name, Bluefly was built in one summer.
