In fact, the company has over 260 stores all over the world, in more than 75 countries. This brand is a symbol of the original design, highest quality, and perfect fit with elegant looks and modern style of every product from its collections.

Today, the brand has grown and remained its nautical style as a heritage to make iconic and fashionable products that provide comfort and versatility. The main style of the company is nautical, refined, modern, renewed classics combined with outstanding quality.
