Senior
A brand for real people with attitude in their daily lives, strongly committed to a new generation of demanding consumers to whom it offers an attractive approach based on pillars such as sustainability and innovation. For this reason, since 2018 Springfield has been committed to its R[ECO]NSIDER label, which in 2019 exceeded its growth targets, reaching 15% of the brand's product. The garments offer sustainable characteristics with initiatives such as the use of sustainable natural and recycled fibers, as well as its H2-0 sustainable water use program focused on the use of laser and ozone technologies in denim finishing processes. Similarly, fabric innovation has led the brand to create its ZERO GRAVITY jeans line and its KEEP IT WARM! coats, both with the aim of making the Springfield consumer's life easier. As a result, in 1993 Springfield made the international leap by opening its first store in Portugal, in 2002 the Springfield Club was born, which is currently present in Spain, Portugal, Belgium and France with more than 11 million members, and in 2006 the brand's women's line was launched. All of this has made Springfield a global, authentic, inclusive, active and natural brand, values that define it and that have been able to adapt to the course of events. Springfield is currently present in nearly 60 countries with a commercial network of more than 853 points of sale around the world through its own stores and franchises, as well as through its online sales channel, since 2012.
