EA7

EA7 is the luxury sportswear line powered by Giorgio Armani, covering everything from gym attire to ski wear and producing, as you would expect, products of the highest quality.

LACOSTE

Young tennis prodigy René Lacoste is 19 and likes a challenge. His team captain promises him the crocodile leather suitcase the player admired in a store window if he wins his upcoming match. René doesn't win but he had the determination of the crocodile on court, which is why an American journalist gave him this nickname. The crocodile takes shape in 1927 under the pen of designer Robert George. An early fan of customization, René Lacoste immediately has it embroidered on his blazers. A few years later, the polo sees the light of day. The crocodile over the heart makes Lacoste the first brand to display a visible logo on an article of clothing.

LONGCHAMP

Longchamp is a French luxury leather goods company, founded in Paris in 1948 by Jean Cassegrain. Jean Cassegrain produced the world's first luxury leather-covered pipes, then expanded into small leather goods.

TIGER OF SWEDEN

Tiger of Sweden is a Stockholm-based fashion house established in 1903 with a heritage in tailoring. For more than a century Tiger of Sweden has stood for style with purpose, dressing men and women for whom true style is about the confidence to be themselves.
The brand founders Marcus Schwarzman and Hjalmar Nordström built the company on the Scandinavian principles of equality and fairness. Tiger of Sweden was first to bring ready-to-wear tailoring to Sweden, making suits accessible not solely for the rich few, but for the working many. Tailoring has defined the brand ever since, with an emphasis on cut, shape and fabric. The company is defined by a belief in change – a faith that people can change anything, which means everything. Continuing that tradition into the 21st century, Tiger of Sweden sees its role as a curator of culture, believing in creativity as force.

The Group has a consolidated identity comprised of colour, authentic fashion, quality at democratic prices and passion for its work: these values are reflected in the strong, dynamic personality of the brand United Colors of Benetton.
