About Esprit In the beginning, there was the vision of a positive attitude to life: Esprit was founded in 1968 in California by the married couple Susie and Doug Tompkins. Inspired by the revolutionary spirit of the 60s, the brand developed a clear philosophy - to celebrate authentic people and true community, in line with the brand promise: "feel good, look good". The company's "Esprit de Corps" is characterised by a positive and appreciative attitude towards life in which community, family and friends play an important role in that casual, laid-back California style. The Esprit style. Esprit is present in over 40 countries and distributes its products internationally in around 580 of its own retail stores as well as over 5,400 wholesale locations, including franchise stores and retail premises in department stores. The group markets its products under the two brands Esprit and edc by ESPRIT. Esprit has been listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange since 1993 and has headquarters in Germany and Hong Kong. Sustainability: Esprit understands more sustainable materials to mean high-quality materials manufactured in the most environmentally friendly production process possible. Esprit ensures that materials can be recycled or composted. Esprit always strives for the highest quality when manufacturing its products, so that they remain in good and wearable condition for as long as possible. For this reason, we train our designers on the circular economy and are working on a process to ensure that all our garments are well constructed, made with durable materials and, where possible, timeless and flexible in terms of their use.
