Esprit creates inspiring collections for women, men and kids<\/div>\n<div>made from high-quality materials paying great attention to detail. All of Esprit\u2019s products demonstrate the<\/div>\n<div>Group\u2019s commitment to quality design and execution.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b>HISTORY<\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The Esprit story began in Northern California in the sixties \u2013 with a beautiful love story. In the summer of 1963,<\/div>\n<div>a pretty blonde girl in a burgundy Beetle picked up a smart East Coast preppie hitchhiking. His name was<\/div>\n<div>Doug Tompkins, hers Susie Bell. The two were on the same wavelength, sharing a great passion for fashion<\/div>\n<div>and nature. Only half a year later, they got married and five years later they started what was to become one<\/div>\n<div>of the greatest fashion labels in the world: Esprit.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Their aspiration was to create a lifestyle brand that not only offered fashionable clothing, but a world of ideas,<\/div>\n<div>meaning and values. Doug and Susie cared for their employees, social issues and the environment. Esprit\u2019s<\/div>\n<div>first headquarters in San Francisco were designed to meet the social needs of the employees. Long before<\/div>\n<div>terms like sustainability, eco-awareness and social responsibility became talk-of-the-town\/hot<\/div>\n<div>topics\/buzzwords, they bought the first lots of bio cotton to produce their organic Ecollection. Even their<\/div>\n<div>advertising was never just about fashion, but about generating awareness for important social issues. Today,<\/div>\n<div>Esprit is continually looking to support projects that help to make people\u2019s lives a little better.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Emerging as one of the hottest brands of the era, the company grew into a transnational company operating<\/div>\n<div>in over 60 countries. By 1978 partnerships had been formed in Germany and Hong Kong. At this time sales<\/div>\n<div>were booming and Esprit gained a reputation as a good place to work. Doug Tompkins titled himself &#8220;image<\/div>\n<div>director&#8221;, overseeing all aspects of the company&#8217;s innovative imagelanguage which translated from store<\/div>\n<div>design to catalogue layout, while Susie was the design director for Esprit\u2019s lifestyle products. The design<\/div>\n<div>esthetic which Doug and Susie created for Esprit was featured in 1989 by Japanese art publisher Robundo in<\/div>\n<div>the book \u201cEsprit, the Comprehensive Design Principle\u201d.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>At Esprit, our spirit of social and environmental responsibility has never changed. It has been our true belief<\/div>\n<div>all along that if you take from the world; you\u2019ve got to give back. That\u2019s why in 1990, we started a<\/div>\n<div>sustainability group focusing on Esprit\u2019s environmental and social affairs. At that time, a company-wide \u201cecoaudit\u201d<\/div>\n<div>programme took place to incorporate ecological considerations into daily business decisions and in the<\/div>\n<div>same year, Esprit embraced a new mission statement: Be informed, be involved, make a difference., our spirit<\/div>\n<div>of social and environmental responsibility has never changed.
