Fila Vintage

In 1911, Biella, Piedmont in Italy the Fila brothers began production of clothing for their Fila brand. Originally creating clothes for the people of the Italian Alps before moving to underwear and then onto the form they carry today, Fila sportswear. Fila as we now know it began in 1970, with the sponsorship of tennis legend Bjorn Borg. Borg’s sponsorship with Fila led him to wear the sportswear brand throughout his entire career, ensuring that his own personal style and charisma were evident in the Fila clothing designed specifically for him. As Borg’s affinity with Fila grew over the years the styles changed with time, and varied from pinstripe, to squares, stripes and even the odd plain item. This has since been recreated in the fashion brand that is today known as Fila Vintage. The Fila Gold collection features the signature “F” logo, but in black and gold, and is moving more towards 80s styling, but created by today’s designers. Look out for the Fila Terrinda track top, this fantastic jacket is available in many of the original colours from the 80s, and are a popular find, get yours today.
