THE FRANCHISES<br />

Bortex<br />

The family-owned Bortex Group (the name is an anagram derived from ‘Borg’ and ‘textiles’) has been in the<br />

business of suiting manfacturing since 1964. Founder Salvatore ‘Sunny’ Borg launched the firm, specializing in<br />

men’s suits, jackets and trousers, whilst also being renowned for manufacturing for other labels of well-known<br />

and high profile customers from around the world. The Borg family started Gagliardi based on the founder’s<br />

nickname and life story.<br />

Further along the years Bortex expanded its retail venture by representing top brands such as Lacoste, Ralph<br />

Lauren and Gant.<br />

International Fashion Ltd partnered with Bortex in 2014 with its first Bortex store at Bay Street Complex for fine<br />

suiting. This store is the largest Bortex store at over 740 square metres. In 2016, a second store was opened at<br />

Bay Street Complex to cater for women and children. Bortex Women & Kids, represents high-end brands such<br />
