History
History of Kenvelo dates back to December 1991, when Dany Himi and Michael Saul founded a Prague-based company CTC - SPORTWEAR.[1] Registered capital of the company was CSK 100 thousand.[1] A few months later, Israel-born Himi became the sole owner of the company[1] and gradually built a chain of clothing stores Himi's Jeans.
In 1996 Himi decided to establish a new brand to compete with well established clothing chains. His initial proposal was Josh, other managers had different proposals.[2] After each proposals, some managers said "yes" while others said "no".[2] David Dahan proposed a brand name Kenvelo,[2] a Hebrew for "yesandno" (כן ולא).
In March 1998 Himi transferred a 30% share in CTC to David Dahan, in June 1999 CTC was renamed to Kenvelo CZ.[1]
