Charly is a Mexican sports equipment manufacturing company headquartered in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.

[1] The company was founded in 1949, in Leon Guanajuato, Mexico as a small shoe company named "Campanita" ("Little Bell" in Spanish), that originally only sold baby shoes hence its name.

It wasn't until 1977 that the company decided to expand its business and started offering sneakers for other ages and changed its name to "Charly".

This deal meant a new found source of funding and allowed the company to expand its business.

[5] Charly opened a store in the United States, at Plaza La Alameda Mall in Walnut Park, California, to serve the Greater Los Angeles area.
