Ellesse TEWSBURY T-shirt

Ellesse is a renowned Italian sportswear brand founded in 1959 by Leonardo Servadio in Perugia. The brand name is derived from his initials, 'L.S.' (Elle-esse). Known for its iconic logo that combines a pair of ski tips with a section of a tennis ball, Ellesse initially gained fame for its technical skiwear and later transitioned into a lifestyle tennis brand.

Today, the brand's products are manufactured in multiple locations globally, primarily across Asia and Europe. While it maintains its Italian heritage in design and branding, the ownership of Ellesse has shifted over the decades. Since 2005, it has been owned by the British multinatonal Pentland Group, which operates the brand globally. The brand remains a staple in urban streetwear and athletic fashion.
