Levi Strauss (Levis) is a branded apparel company; the company designs and markets jeans and other casual wear for men, women and children. Levis's established brands such as Levi's, Dockers and Signature ensure customer loyalty and consistent earnings for the company. The company has also cashed in on its brand strength to expand its product line worldwide. However, a continued global economic slowdown would impact the consumer's discretionary spending capacity and in turn reduce the demand, especially for Levis's premium products adversely.
