FRANKLIN & MARSHALL

Founded by two young Italian entrepreneurs in 1999, Franklin & Marshall was born out of extensive research in the second-hand shops of Tokyo and the recycled clothes market in Rosebowl, Passadena. The name Franklin & Marshall and logo is taken from an old 1970’s sweatshirt from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania found in a second hand market in London - a discovery which in essence is what the brand is all about. Today, Franklin & Marshall is a cult name in American College Style, its strong ethical principles inspired by the college from which it takes its name providing a strong foundation for the brands continued success.
