Nautica was founded in 1983 by David Chu. He
designed a collection of men's outerwear that was visionary in its
seamless working together of fashion with new technologies of fibers
and fabrics. He chose the name Nautica to identify a concept that is
timeless and evolutionary in scope and to reflect a lifestyle of
energy, activities and fitness. In 1984, Nautica was acquired by
State-o-Maine, which is now known as Nautica Enterprises, Inc. The
collection was expanded to include men's activewear and sportswear
including colognes and perfumes such as Latitude Longitude, Nautica and
Nautica Competition. |
