Total Retail segment net sales increased 1%, with comparable Retail segment net sales also increasing 1%. The increase in Retail segment comparable net sales was driven by low single-digit positive digital channel sales, while retail store sales were flat. By brand, comparable Retail segment net sales increased 8% at the Free People Group and 7% at the Anthropologie Group and decreased 9% at Urban Outfitters. Wholesale segment net sales increased 1%, driven by a 4% increase in Free People Group wholesale sales, partially offset by a decline in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales. Nuuly segment net sales increased by $18.8 million driven by a significant increase in our subscribers.
For the six months ended July 31, 2022, total Company net sales increased 7.2% compared to the same period last year. Total Retail segment net sales increased 6%, with comparable Retail segment net sales increasing 5%. The relative proportion of Retail segment sales attributable to store and digital channels changed significantly due in large part to the temporary store closures and occupancy restrictions in the United States, Europe and Canada in the first half of the prior year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With those restrictions not present in the first half of the current year, Retail segment comparable sales increased due to double-digit growth in retail store sales due to increased store traffic, partially offset by low single-digit negative digital channel sales. By brand, comparable Retail segment net sales increased 12% at the Anthropologie Group and 11% at the Free People Group and decreased 4% at Urban Outfitters. Wholesale segment net sales increased 3%, driven by a 6% increase in Free People Group wholesale sales, partially offset by a decline in Urban Outfitters wholesale sales. Nuuly segment net sales increased by $33.9 million driven by a significant increase in our subscribers.
