Escada is a renowned international luxury fashion group founded in Germany by Margaretha and Wolfgang Ley. The name “Escada” derives from the Portuguese word for “staircase.” Since its establishment in Munich in 1978, the company has gained recognition for its unique and vibrant fashion designs, featuring an array of colors and patterns. In 1990, Escada Beauté was established, marking the debut of its inaugural fragrance, Escada Margaretha Ley, named after one of the company’s founders. For over three decades, the fragrance division has achieved remarkable success, introducing a diverse range of captivating fragrances for both men and women, extending its influence well into the 21st century.
