Lịch sử
Founded in the early 1980s by Diego and Andrea Della Valle, Fay originated from technical jackets used by Maine firefighters. The brand introduced the 4-Ganci jacket, featuring metal lobster-claw closures, which transitioned industrial garments into the fashion market. This integration of functional hardware and high-quality materials established the 'double life' concept, bridging the gap between professional attire and rugged outdoor utility.
