In 1985, the US fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger founded his own label under this very name. The company, which has been based in Amsterdam since 2006, was established in New York and is now owned by the Philipps-Van Heusen Corporation, which also owns the brand Calvin Klein, for example. The label went public in 1992 and opened its first shops in the following years. Its clothing collections are mainly characterised by the All-American style and the preppy look. This expresses an upscale standard of living in a restrained way. Tommy Hilfiger has not only made a name in fashion, but can also be found in the jewellery sector. Various pieces of jewellery for men and women are created here. The company recognised early that men can and would also like to wear accessories and therefore designed its collections in a more masculine way. Hilfiger's father was a watchmaker and today, in addition to jewellery, the company also produces watches, numerous of them waterproof. Many pieces are created in a maritime design and feature elements from sailing fashion. Tommy Hilfiger jewellery is easy to combine, suitable for everyday wear and youthfully designed. The brand's typical white-red-blue flag, inspired by Hilfiger's monogram in the flag alphabet, can be found on both the accessories and the label's clothing.
