Brandy Melville is an Italian clothing and fashion accessories brand, marketing their products to teenage girls and young women. The company was established in 1970 in Italy by Silvio Marsan and his son, Stephan Marsan.[1]
Brandy Melville's first retail store was opened in 2009, bordering UCLA in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.[2][3] By 2015, the brand had grown to 65 stores worldwide. In a similar way to Primark, the stores place little emphasis on advertising, relying instead on social media and word-of-mouth.[1]
Though the company originated in Europe, Brandy adjusts their prices, clothing styles, and accessory items to American customers. To keep a European aesthetic within American stores, Brandy Melville marks the prices of clothing items with a fake "euro". One "euro" equals one American dollar.[3] The company's products are sold in physical stores in countries such as Europe, the United States, Asia, Canada, the United Kingdom and on their website.
Brandy Melville has been described as trend-setting, relevant, and cool.[2] Most of Brandy's apparel only offers clothing in one size, most easily compared to a UK size 4-6.[4] Brandy's one-size-fits-all aspect has brought criticism and controversy upon the company, with some customers unable to fit into the brands clothing items, considering their size to be too big or small.[5][6] Brandy's product research team consists of teenage employees in an attempt to keep the company's styles contemporary.[2]
