Collection: ELLESSE
Founded in Italy in 1959 by Leonardo Servadio in Perugia and the name derives from Servadio's initials, "L.S."
Ellesse grew in popularity during the 1970s as a producer of skiwear such as quilted jackets and ski pants. In 1979, Ellesse's Jet Pant, a ski pant featuring padded knees and a wide lower leg to fit around a ski boot, was included in an event at the Pompidou Centre in Paris celebrating Italian design.
The brand found popularity again in casual terrace wear with a resurgence in the last couple of years in streetwear.
