Description THE BRAND Billy Reid began designing almost 20+ years ago, with the intention of creating clothes he would want to wear - pairing beautiful fabrics with impeccable construction. Founded with a deep sense of community and goodwill, the flagship store opened in Billy’s hometown of Florence, Alabama in 2005. Today, the ageless American brand maintains its commitment to thoughtfully crafted, timeless style for life’s most cherished experiences.
