About ellesse: ellesse was founded by Leonardo Servadio in Perugia, Italy in 1959. The name ellesse derives from the initials of Servadio’s name, “L.S.” Through the 1970s and 1980s, ellesse gained a reputation for combining sportswear functionality with street-level fashion styling. It was one of the first sportswear brands to feature their logo prominently on the outside of its garments, a bold statement by Leonardo – the pioneering spirit behind the brand that continues to innovate and inspire today.
