[2] A few months later, Israel-born Himi became the sole owner of the company [2] and gradually built a chain of clothing stores, Himi's Jeans.
In 1996, Himi decided to establish a new brand to compete with the well-established clothing chains. His initial proposal was Josh; other managers had different proposals. [3] After each proposal, some managers said "yes" while others said "no". [3] Dave Gahan proposed a brand name Kenvelo, [3] Hebrew for "yesandno" (כן ולא).
In March 1998, Himi transferred a 30% share in CTC to Dave Gahan. In June 1999 CTC was renamed Kenvelo CZ. [2]
