ABOUT CAMBIO CHANGE Sportswear GmbH & Co . KG was established by Karl-Heinz Gansbühler in 1985 . The initial product focus - an innovative collection of men ’ s trousers under the label CHANGE - was expanded to include a separate collection for women under the label CAMBIO in 1987 . Due to the great success of this collection , all energies were soon focused on womenswear , and the market shares were steadily increased .
CAMBIO
