Harmont & Blaine's history begins in 1986, when Domenico Menniti founded a company called PDM together with his brother Enzo Menniti and business partners Paolo and Massimo Montefusco, initially producing leather gloves. The business expanded into ready-to-wear in 1993 with a first collection of swimming trunks, then broadened further in 1995 to include shirts, trousers and sweaters. Its first standalone boutique opened in 2000 in Frattamaggiore, in the Naples area, where the brand's production remains concentrated. The dachshund became the company's logo and mascot. Harmont & Blaine now sells internationally through both standalone stores and shop-in-shops, including locations in US shopping centers operated by Simon Property Group.

Original Marines was founded in 1983 by five entrepreneurs from Naples with a vision to introduce the American concept of relaxed, leisure-focused dressing to the Italian market. The brand began with a simple white t-shirt inspired by U.S. Marines apparel—that single design sold 25 million pieces within a decade, establishing the label as a benchmark in children's and youth clothing. Today, the company maintains its 100 percent Made in Italy designation and specializes in casual sportswear for newborns, babies, children, and teenagers, organized by age group with separate boys' and girls' collections. Original Marines operates over 500 stores across Italy and maintains a presence in more than 40 countries. The brand was acquired by Pamaf Retail S.r.l., a Naples-based company, underscoring continued regional ownership and commitment. Product categories include t-shirts, pants, shorts, jackets, swimwear, pajamas, and licensed character collections from Disney, Pokémon, and Minions.

The London House of Naples — Mariano’s dynasty that codified Neapolitan tailoring, Agnelli’s wardrobe. Named London House in 1932 for Gennaro's attachment to English fabrics and to London as the then capital of masculine elegance, while cutting the unpadded Neapolitan opposite of Savile Row.
Best for Bespoke Neapolitan jackets from the dynasty that codified them.
Gennaro Rubinacci opened his 'London House' in Naples in 1932, naming it for the Anglophile tastes of his clientele — and from that atelier, with cutter Vincenzo Attolini, emerged the unstructured Neapolitan jacket: canvas lightened, padding removed, the shoulder left natural, sleeves set with the shirring of the spalla camicia. The style conquered the tailoring world; the house that started it remains in family hands, three generations on, with Mariano Rubinacci and his son Luca presiding over the Naples atelier and outposts in Milan and London. The house archive of vintage cloth — thousands of meters of decades-old fabric — is legendary among tailoring clients, who can commission garments from wools no mill weaves today. Bespoke is the core; ties and a small ready-to-wear line carry the taste outward. For tailoring pilgrims Naples has no more historically consequential door.
Ask to see the vintage cloth archive even as a first-time visitor; commissioning from a decades-old length is the house's singular offer, and the family shows it proudly.
