Initially known as Robe di Kappa, the Italian brand was born in Turin in 1968 thanks to the intuition of Maurizio Vitale, a young managing director of Maglificio Calzificio Torinese, a family textile company founded by his grandfather Abramo in 1916. At the beginning the brand was dealing with the production of underwear, socks and vests. Robe di Kappa features a logo depicting two young people seated with their legs together, arranged back to back, born casually during a break in a photographic set of Beatrix swimwear, when two models were photographed sitting, backlit, in this way. The Kappa brand was born in 1978 when Boglione, young commercial director of Maglificio Calzificio Torinese, convinced Maurizio Vitale, CEO of the company, to establish a sports division of the already started business. Thus was born a line of quality sports clothing, accessible to all, which over the years has made numerous collaborations with as many sports teams of world importance.
