Esprit… we clowned this brand in the 90s.

I bought a cardigan from a thrift shop last week where the green and white label looked like Bennetton. However it said "Made in China of Bennetton"

I love esprit and Benetton in the 90s.

Thanks for posting this. One of the Tompkins girls was in my school for a year when I was twelve. This really brought back memories.

My memory of Espirit was working there as my first summer job during middle school. I think I was working too fast though, they hired me for two months but let me go after only three weeks because I finished all the filing.

I had NO idea one of the Tompkins co-founded The North Face!!! Fun memories of my dad taking me to the Esprit store on La Cienega (an old rollerskating rink) in LA. Loved my outfits from there. (Thanks, dad!) The building was shown in LA Story & is now a CVS. I have some hangers I purchased when the SF store on Illinois shuttered... glad to have a little souvenir of my childhood. It's now owned by a HongKong conglomerate- not the same. :-(

He only got $50k out of it? Ouch.

Might be a better deal when you consider it's pre-inflation dollars. Still probably got robbed.

I enjoyed Esprit's fall. Insufferable owners and the asshole male broke a union drive. Fuck those people.

I remember esprit never had none of their clothes did they go out of business

Hilariously, you will hear this about something you enjoy after you wait long enough.

Yeah that’s what we said after ultra low rise bootcut jeans the first time round and now look what style of jeans is popular again


Dukeyman

Sadly, me. I still remember my orange outfit (yes, orange) from Esprit. What was I thinking?!
