Ellesse

Ellesse is an iconic sportswear brand, first founded in Italy in 1959. On the hunt for the perfect skiwear, Italian tailor Leonardo Servadio noticed a gap in the market for options that combined style and function, and so set about creating and manufacturing his own designs. Naming the brand after his initials, L and S, Ellesse was born. Harnessing the power of the latest performance-enhancing fabric, Ellesse expanded first from skiwear, to tennis and later even Formula 1 and soccer, ensuring a place at helm of the industry by continuing to reinvent the concept of fashion sportswear.
