La Martina was founded in 1985 by Lando Simonetti, an Italian entrepreneur who had worked in fashion in the United States before returning to his native Argentina, together with Gachi Ferrari. The brand's name is drawn from Marta de Estrada Lainez, mother of Argentine polo player Adolfo Cambiaso. La Martina began by making leather equipment for polo - saddles and boots - before extending into shirts, caps, and broader ready-to-wear apparel.
