Strauss emigrated to New York from Bavaria in 1847, then made his way to the San Francisco area in 1853. A tailor who had planned to make tents for miners, Strauss ended up stitching canvas pants that became famous for their durability. The "pants of Levi's" came to be called simply Levi's, and they became one of the best-selling products in his dry goods store. He began using fabric from Nîmes, France, serge de Nîmes (the origin of the word denim), then added dye to make them blue.

Levi Strauss learned the dry goods business while working for his family's wholesale business in New York. He then moved to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush and eventually founded Levi Strauss & Co. to sell goods to miners.
