About: Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley founded Escada in 1976 in Germany. The first label was Escada Sportliche Eleganz by SRB, but it was soon shortened to Escada by Margaretha Ley. This line featured high-end knit sportswear, but by the 1980s Escada had branched off into other areas of women’s clothing, such as separates and evening wear. In 1982, Escada began to branch off into other markets, including the United States and Hong Kong. Throughout the 1980s, they expanded until they were considered to be one of the largest fashion companies in the world. Margaretha Ley was the primary designer until her death in 1992.
All items are vintage and pre-loved. All major flaws are listed, but small blemishes like loose stitches and buttons may not be in the item description as they are to be expected when purchasing vintage items.
