Blumarine was established by Anna Molinari and Gianpaolo Tarabini in 1977, in the town of Carpi in the province of Modena. The name was inspired by the couple's favourite colour and their love of the sea. In 1980 they made their first appearance at Modit in Milan. Nowdays Blumarine create lingerie, accessories, wristwatches, homeware, sunglasses and much more.
