The beginning / History
the Fila brothers in 1911 in Biella, Italy. Originally in the business of creating quality textiles for local townspeople, the brothers sought to produce fabrics that combined luxury, art and utility, drawing inspiration from their homeland to create product as exquisitely textured and evocative as the Italian landscape. The company’s primary product was originally underwear, before moving into sportswear in the 1970s, initially with the endorsement of tennis player Björn Borg. The brand got more popular after moving into sportswear. Fila has been owned and operated from South Korea since a takeover in 2007.
“You have to find it. No one else can find it for—Björn you.Borg” (Sweden tennis player, world champion 1974–1981)
