About Us
BRIGATTI’s story dates back to 1884 in Milan, when the brothers Mauro and Paolo Brigatti opened the doors of their first shop in Corso Venezia. In an era of rapid change, the BRIGATTI brothers sensed the potential of the “velocipede”, becoming pioneers not only in selling these new means of travel but also in promoting the lifestyle they represented: modern, dynamic and elegant.
For 120 years, BRIGATTI has been more than just a simple store. It has become a Milanese institution, a point of reference for the elite lovers of travels, of sports and style.
“BRIGATTI also was the first store in Italy to sell brands such as Harley Davidson, Burberry, Mackintosh, Aquascutum, and many more.” (CityDoorMilano, November 10, 2017)
BRIGATTI has always anticipated trends, offering top-quality products and flawless service from textiles to clothing, reflecting the demands of an increasingly sophisticated clientele.
BRIGATTI’s story is intertwined with that of Milan and Italy; it lived through two world wars and attended Milan’s transformation into the capital of fashion and design; it dressed kings and queens, athletes and artists. The Corso Venezia store has witnessed the passing of eras, always preserving its essence of excellence and refinement.
It was not merely a shop, but a meeting place for Milan’s upper class, where people discussed fashion, art and culture.
“Giorgio Armani once called it the best store in the world for its uniqueness.”
