Our Story

How Founder Ali Putnam turned a love of golf into a lifestyle clothing brand. 

A Note from Ali

A. PUTNAM was created out of my desire to provide women with polished, sophisticated lifestyle pieces that perform – from resort to sport

Our goal is to give you timeless options that fit your life, so you can move confidently from travel, to the course, to the club, without sacrificing style or comfort. The A. PUTNAM collections also honor the tradition of golf with subtle details and features that bring a modern touch to classic looks.

Women's clothing has evolved to meet a need for transition pieces that look great at the resort but also function in life and sport. I saw an opportunity to create an athstyle brand and empower women with comfortable, versatile performance apparel that works on the course without sacrificing luxury and style. While I’m an entrepreneur at heart, I’m also a busy mom of five boys, so I appreciate garments that can flex with my day. A. PUTNAM is my way of helping women achieve that flexibility.

I’m so excited to bring you our collection of minimalist styles that make a maximum impact. These timeless pieces offer classic, yet modern, silhouettes for an effortlessly elegant look, and feature performance fabrics and subtle design details – all intended to move seamlessly with you from resort to sport. 

I hope to make your life – and game – a little bit easier and full of joy!

Quality Materials That Perform.

The durability of our pieces helps your wardrobe stand the test of time without compromising style, so you can maintain high performance and feel good doing it.

Ethically Made Goods.

Golf shorts are another sporty chic option for warm weather (half the reason I pursued a WFH job was so that I could wear shorts during the workweek).
