Administrative history
Italian tennis player Sergio Tacchini established his sportswear business in the mid-1960s. Initially the label concentrated on tennis wear to bring colour and fashion to the sport, later expanding into other sports and then leisurewear. Outside of sports the label was adopted by British Casuals and by Black American Hip Hop artists. The company was sold in 2008 and again in 2019.
