History

Inside a Boggi store

The brand was founded by Paolo Boggi with the opening of a small shop specializing in tailored suits in Monza.[2][3][4] In 1964, after launching its first collection, the company expanded to Milan by opening a store in Galleria Passarella, a prestigious mixed-use complex located near Piazza San Babila and the Duomo. The location was renovated in 2019 to celebrate the brand's 80th anniversary.[5]

In 1996, Boggi Milano opened a store in Geneva, Switzerland, its first store outside Italy.[6]

In 2003, Boggi Milano was acquired for €13.2 million[7] by the Brian & Barry Group, owned by brothers Carlo, Claudio and Roberto Zaccardi; Sandro De Bruno became President and CEO of the Brian & Barry Group.[8][9]

From 2009, the brand began an expansion process, opening over 100 stores in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Russia and South America.[10] By 2011, Boggi had 100 stores worldwide. In 2016, the company established the Boggi Milano Academy, an internal training program aimed at developing new talent and keeping staff updated on the brand.[11]

In 2019, the company announced plans to expand its operations with the goal of reaching revenue of €500 million.[12] The plan included strengthening the e-commerce network and adopting an omnichannel retail strategy.[6][13][14]
