Leon Levin Facebook Information

At the height of the depression in a workshop on New York's lower East Side, Leon Levin opened a small manufacturing shop dedicated to crafting quality ladies fashions. In 1931, he registered the 'Leon Levin' trademark and over the next several decades built a loyal following and legacy for producing exceptional womens apparel. Ladies sportswear was breaking new ground as trousers and shorts became socially acceptable and wardrobe favorites. Leon Levin was at the front of this new trend establishing a reputation for quality and consistency that is still running strong 80 years later. Imported linen from Ireland and England hit the American fashion scene in 1939. Again, Leon Levin was in front of the trend and presented his customers with a rainbow of bright spring colored ensembles that were featured in all the leading Fifth Avenue department stores. One prominent retailer devoted an entire New York City block of windows to an exclusive presentation of the Leon Levin linen collection.
