Piperlime was an online retail company based in San Francisco, California, US. Founded in 2006 as a spin-off by Gap Inc., Piperlime offered a selection of footwear and handbags for women, men and children. Beginning in fall 2009, the company sold women's clothing and, later, men's clothing, with the men's business retiring in August 2014. On January 23, 2015, Gap Inc. announced its decision to close Piperlime by the end of April 2015 in order to focus resources on its core brands.
