LEVI STRAUSS & CO<\/span><\/h2>\n

It won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be an exaggeration if it would be said that \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc Levi is the synonym of Blue Jeans\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00c2\u00a0 . Invented in 1873 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss , this brand has been successfully running till now . At one point of time the company reported a sale of USD 7 Billion however it came down to USD 4 billion recently . Many believes that USD 7 Billion was just a fluke and it was only the monopoly which helped them to reach at this level as there were no one at that time in this market . Blue pants had been invented a way time before 1873 but its LEVI which brought them into main stream fashion .<\/p>\n

Another secret of success is \u00e2\u20ac\u201c INVENTION . Levi has been constantly engaging their heads into R&D and result of which, the company successfully catered the needs of its customers, the Google- Levis Jacquard Jacket<\/a> is the latest example of this . Blue Jeans was already in the market before Levis\u00c2\u00a0 but Levis introduced Rivet and little sturdiness followed by many developments on the fabrics which paved the way for them to become the leader of the market as these inventions add more comforts . The company has always managed to deliver the product according to the needs of its end users and hence succeeded and not only succeeded but also survived and has been surviving for ages .<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

7 FOR ALL MANKIND<\/span><\/h2>\n

This brand, at one point of time, was the leader in the PREMIUM DENIM CATEGORY and ruled this segment for\u00c2\u00a0 a decade. Founded in the year 2000 at Los Angeles , this brand has changed the entire narrative of wearing jeans and introduced a premium line of jeans<\/strong> in the market . At that time , the jeans were being sold between the price of range of USD 30-50 but 7 For All Mankind had started to sell their products for more than USD 100 . The price was very close to the price of normal Japanese Denim Brands. The company used the fabrics of Japan and Italy and laundered these in Martelli and delivered an excellent product with fantastic fittings and finishing . The Success mantra of this brand was \u00e2\u20ac\u201c F\u00c2\u00a0 F\u00c2\u00a0 F : Fit + Fabric + Finish .<\/p>\n

This brand successfully created a market for Hi-End fashion for Masses which was also tried before by GAS Jeans however didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get success to tap the users of\u00c2\u00a0 Sophisticate Casuals . This brand never went into the PR and Advertisements to promote its products , It was only the product and word of mouth which spelt and helped to rule this segment.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

TUFF GONG CLOTHING<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tuff Gong Clothing , the brand which was inspired from the legendary pop star \u00e2\u20ac\u201c BOB MARLEY . The products was sold like hot cake when it launched however it did not go into big league. The success experienced by this brand was because of the product and the uniqueness but the drawback with this brand was , it never went into high volumes . The owners kept his brand as a passion not as a business and hence having all the ingredients of being a successful brand , eventually it failed . The hobby ruled over the zeal of business .<\/p>\n
