Modegeschichte
Founded in 1915 by Gregorio Jiménez in La Rioja, Spain, the brand was named after his wife. Victoria gained significant cultural prominence during the 1970s and 1980s, when its canvas plimsolls became a staple of Spanish youth fashion. Historically, the company is noted for its early adoption of the vulcanization process and its transition from a local family business to an international symbol of classic, eco-conscious footwear design.
