Established in Biella, Italy, in 1911 by the Fila brothers, the brand began as a textile company before pivoting to sportswear in the 1970s. This strategic shift redefined its identity, leading to the groundbreaking “White Line” tennis collection in 1973, which introduced bold color to a traditionally all-white sport. Partnering with tennis star Björn Borg catapulted Fila to international fame, cementing its place in athletic wear.
