ABOUT ESPRIT
Playful. Modern. Cool.
Est. 1968. Founded in San Fransisco, CA. The first line created by Susi and Doug Thompkins (also cofounders of The North Face). They met when Doug was hitch-hiking and three years later, were married. They started Esprit in their apartment and initially sold their initial collection out of a VW bus. It surged in popularity in the US in the 1980s and 1990s. With its colorful sweatshirts and signature three-stripes "E," Esprit was one of the biggest brands of the late 20th century.
After leaving the US in 2011, Esprit relaunched in 2023 in small market pop-up stores and received an amazing response. Esprit is colorful and lively, close to home and authentic – and characterized by the Californian way of life. It’s not only iconic for writing fashion history. The brand is in search of dialogue; it involves people – and takes a stand. A principle Esprit has remained true to, to this very day.
Esprit is cool because they did things far before their time as a brand, like featuring "real people" who work in their retail stores in their ad campaigns and speaking up for employees and customers in social issues. Social and ecological aspects are concrete decision-making criteria daily at Esprit.
If it’s not inspiring, it’s not Esprit. Everything detail from fabric to tag to how it’s displayed in store is thought out and intentional. You’ll recognize this bold statement brand instantly!
