Women’s Heritage Collection

The Heritage cross-back cami in “electric blue”, and the A-line pleated skort in “white”
Heritage draws inspiration from FILA’s legendary archives in Italy, utilizing the brand’s classic hues of red, navy and white accentuated by the addition of a bold electric blue. Past and present blend seamlessly in traditional silhouettes enhanced with modernized fits and stylistic elements. The Heritage jacket – offered in white and electric blue – and a classic navy blue pant with bottom snaps complete the stylish ensemble. Each Heritage collection piece features SPF 50 sun protection, premium plus stretch jersey and moisture wicking technology.
