The Fogal brand was first established in 1921 by Leon Fogal who was the son of a sock knitter. By 1923, the first hosiery shop was opened under the family name in Zurich, Germany. The brand quickly became renowned for producing high quality hosiery for women. Leon was able to respond skillfully to his customers’ needs which soon resulted in Fogal shops offering repair services as well as hosiery wares. The Swiss brand will be celebrating its 90th anniversary later this year.
The greatest boom for the brand came about following the invention of nylon stockings which resulted in women forming a long queue in the shops to bag themselves their own pair of Nylons. As a result of this high demand, some customers were left disappointed when the stores had to close after a couple of hours as they had sold out of stock. 🙁
