The question shows up in two forms. The first: "I used to get the Sahalie catalog — outdoor casualwear, fleece pullovers, the comfortable shoes. What happened?" The second: "I had a Gettington credit account that worked at Sahalie and a few sister brands. Are they still active?" The honest answer to both, as of June 2026, is that the Sahalie name and its successor Gettington have wound down their print catalog programs and the broader retail operation. The longer story is below.
A short history
Sahalie started life inside the Norm Thompson Outfitters family — a Pacific Northwest catalog group with a particular sensibility about outdoor-adjacent casualwear: fleece, washable wool, supportive footwear, layering pieces, the kind of clothes that worked for a weekend hike in Oregon or a Tuesday morning at the cabin. The cover styling was earnest and practical, the model styling was age-appropriate for a customer who knew her size and her seasons, and the merchandise leaned toward comfort and durability rather than fashion.
Through the 2010s, the Sahalie brand was rolled into the broader Bluestem Brands portfolio in Eden Prairie, Minnesota — the same parent that ran Fingerhut, Newport News, Bedford Fair, K. Jordan, Haband, Country Door, Ginny's, Seventh Avenue, Draper's & Damon's, Appleseed's, and a handful of other long-running catalogs. The Sahalie offering eventually transitioned under the Gettington brand, which functioned as both a credit platform (pay-over-time financing) and a wide-assortment retail name across several Bluestem brands.
What changed
Sahalie was caught in the same broad current that thinned the rest of the mid-market casualwear catalog industry through the late 2010s — rising paper and postage costs, the migration of older shoppers from print to web, and the credit-side risk of brands that depended on buy-now-pay-monthly financing to drive higher average orders. The Sahalie name became less visible across that decade as the Gettington framing took precedence.
Bluestem itself filed Chapter 11 in 2020, reorganized, and operated the brand portfolio for several years afterward. In late 2025 the company began its final wind-down. The Eden Prairie headquarters closed in mid-November 2025; the affiliated brands that had still been operating went quiet then. As of mid-2026, neither Sahalie nor Gettington has a current print catalog in active circulation, and the Gettington credit platform exists primarily to manage outstanding balances rather than to support new purchases.
Where the Sahalie shopper goes now
The good news for the Sahalie customer — someone who wanted casual-but-polished outdoor-adjacent clothing, real warmth, comfortable shoes, layering pieces that work in actual weather — is that the genre is well-served by several catalogs still mailing free print issues.
- Coldwater Creek — the closest spirit-of-Sahalie catalog still actively mailing. Same emphasis on comfortable, casual-but-pulled-together pieces; the body of the catalog reads familiar (knits, easy bottoms, layering pieces for the cooler months).
- Appleseed's — for the more polished side of the Sahalie wardrobe; refined separates, blouses, coordinates that work both for outdoor and indoor life.
- Haband — value-priced classic separates and pull-on pants for the Sahalie customer who valued the accessible price point.
- Miles Kimball — broader value-merchandise mailer with outdoor-and-garden touches that the Sahalie audience often kept alongside the fashion books.
About the website and your account
If you held a Gettington credit account that covered Sahalie or other Bluestem sister brands, the wind-down team's guidance has been that customers could and should continue making payments through the existing login. The closure FAQ at fingerhut.com/content/faq-closure covers the Bluestem family situation; we point readers there because the specifics are subject to update.
If you came here looking for a specific past Sahalie or Gettington mailer — the fleece spread, the holiday pajamas, the comfortable-walking-shoe issue — those particular catalogs are not back in circulation. What we can do is make sure you receive the closest equivalent. Pick any of the four catalogs above and the print copy will arrive within roughly a week.
The Sahalie sensibility — practical, comfortable, durable, with just enough seasonal updating to feel current — is genuinely worth preserving in your mailbox season. Coldwater Creek and Appleseed's between them will pick up most of what Sahalie used to deliver.
