  • The History of Levi Strauss & Co.

    1855 Words  | 4 Pages

    In 1829, Hirsch and Rebecca Strauss welcomed the birth of their sixth child Loeb (Goldish 6). Little did either of them know that this Buttenheim, Bavarian native would grow to be one of the most successful American entrepreneurs the world would ever see. His father, a dry goods peddler, died when Loeb was just 16 years of age. While his brothers traveled to America in search of work, he remained, and took over his father’s trade. Selling products such as cloth, canvas and blankets enabled him to provide for his mother and sisters who waited in anticipation of leaving the country as well. Two years later, the family set out for their voyage to America and in the process, Loeb was given a new name. Once they arrived in New York, the government officials, unable to understand Loeb’s language, provided him with the new name of Levi Strauss (Goldish 10). In a new land, Levi resorted to his familiar trade, that of peddling. He continued to do this for a number of years and finally in 1853, he moved to San Francisco to live with his sister and her husband. There, he started a dry-goods business with the family and named it Levi Strauss & Co. With the perseverance and reliability Levi established, the company flourished. Oftentimes, Strauss would travel to the gold mines to sell his goods. Upon high demand, Levi started to provide miners with durable overalls constructed from his canvas fabric. One day, he received a shipment of denim because they ran out of canvas.(Goldish) Upon seeing the positive response, Levi took advantage of this discrepancy and expanded the business to include numerous forms of the material. His blue jeans, denim jackets,...

    For the past several years denim as casual wear had been on the decline. For many, including the men and women of groups like the Baby Boomers, the Millenials, and soon to become the Founders, yoga pants, workout or jogging pants became the choice and popular bottoms to wear. Lately, the dead and gone trend seems to be making a comeback and with a vengeance. Remember fashion trends go out of style only to return with a new name, in this case, it's called ’retro’.
