Levi Jeans
From LoveToKnow Teens
Levi Strauss & Company is known worldwide for its famous Levi jeans.
Company History
Levi Strauss & Co was founded in 1853 when Levi Strauss arrived in San Francisco at the height of the Californian gold rush. Noting the need for rugged pants for miners, he had a tailor sew pants from some sturdy brown canvas he had brought with him on his journey. Once he had exhausted the canvas material, he turned to denim, a thick fabric made in the French town of Nimes, or serge de Nimes, and the legendary Levi jeans were born.
Today, the Levi Jeans Company successfully operates in most European countries, as well as in South Africa, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, India, and in a host of other countries. Besides its well-known Levi’s brand products, the company also markets clothing and accessories under the brand names Dockers, Britannia, and Slates.
