Fila
Fila is one of the greatest sportwear manufacturers to ever be founded in Italy. Founded by the Fila Brothers in 1911 in Biela, Piedmont, Fila started out by manufacturing underwear and quickly expanded to producing clothing or people living in the Italian Alps. It reinvented itself in the 1970s with a massive endorsement to tennis legend Bjorn Borg and that was the event which signaled Fila’s entrance in the sportswear business. The brand rapidly became famous for the great quality of sportswear items and it wasn’t long until it was considered one of the best sportswear brands in the world

The wide variety of T-shirts, shoes, track suits, shorts, trousers and many accessories provided by Fila are all made with a strong sense of quality, practicality and a unique fashion sense. One of the strongest qualities of Fila is their commitment to making sporting items look great. They know the importance of design in any branch of the fashion world and act accordingly. It is why Fila holds some of the most beautifully designed sportswear items in the world.
Although business went great for the Italian giants, because of some wrong turns from a managerial point of view, the company had to be sold and then later re-sold and went into Korean ownership, making it Korea’s largest manufacturer of sporting items. With new ownership also came a new direction in Fila’s journey. Although they still make good quality sportswear, two lines were released as homage to Fila’s more prominent sporting past. They are the Fila Gold and Fila Vintage. Aimed more towards fashion than sports, the Fila Gold and Fila Vintage lines offer exquisite track suits, polo shirts, T-shirts and shoes that are extremely luxurious and classy.
The distinguished look offered by the two lines makes them sought after by young and old, women and men, celebrities or working class. Fila’s decision to release the Gold and Vintage lines couldn’t have arrived at a better time, as the hype around the retro look seems to increase a little bit more each day.
Although the prices aren’t low for Gold and Vintage products, if we take into consideration the unique fashion statement and the quality materials which offer comfort and durability, one might say that they’re worth going the extra mile. Fila Gold and Fila Vintage are well and truly deserving the praises which they received over the years.
