What is Brums?

Brums is an Italian brand of children's clothing. It was founded in 1955 under the name Brummels, with the aim of dressing Italian children in a stylish way.

History

In the 1980s the brand was taken over by the Preca group, which renewed it and began its international expansion. Franchising became a central part of the model from 1989, when Brums began opening franchised stores.

Products and positioning

Brums designs clothing for babies and children, with a focus on Italian style for everyday wear. The brand sits in the mid-market segment of Italian childrenswear and is sold under a single brand identity across its store network.

Distribution

  • A network of around 295 franchised stores across seven countries
  • Brand stores in Italy
  • Online sales through the brand's own website

Why it matters

With roots going back to the 1950s, Brums is one of the longer-standing names in Italian childrenswear. Its franchise-led expansion illustrates how many Italian kidswear brands have grown through partner-operated stores rather than wholesale alone.
