It was founded by Larry Levine himself in New York City in 1951. Levine began his career as a salesman in New York’s garment district and quickly saw an opportunity: American women wanted affordable, well-made, fashionable coats. At that time, European designers dominated high-end outerwear, but there were few good American options for the everyday working woman. Levine stepped in to fill that gap. Through the 1950s and 1960s, Larry Levine coats became extremely popular in department stores like Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, and Saks Fifth Avenue. The brand became known for: Clean, classic tailoring Good-quality wool and cashmere blends Conservative yet stylish looks that could transition from office to evening By the 1970s, Larry Levine expanded into women’s suits and separates (skirts, jackets, pants), maintaining the same focus on wearable, versatile fashion for working women. His designs were always timeless, not overly trendy, which helped the brand stay successful for decades. Today, vintage Larry Levine coats and suits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s are still sought after, especially for their classic silhouettes and high-quality construction.
