History
BRIC’S MILANO was founded in September 1952 by Mario Briccola in Lake Como, Italy. Mario Briccola, a family man through and through, based the name of the company after his last name. His goal was and remains to this day "to become a leader in the luggage and travel bags industry, with products recognized for their image and functionality and a positive quality/price ratio” and has been succeeding ever since. BRIC’S has become a leader in the travel bag and fashion accessories market.

Since its formation, BRIC’S remains a family owned and operated business that has not stopped growing since its inception in Northern Italy. In 1993 BRIC’S signed a bilateral agreement with TUMI to promote BRIC’S entry into the US market. In time the company has established strategic partnerships with other brands, including Kipling, The Sak and Wenger.

The first Flagship Store opened at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan in the year 2000. Since then BRIC’S Milano has expanded globally with 4 foreign branches in Europe, North America, and Asia with 35 flagship stores, and over 1500 key partners to distribute quality travel bags to 52 countries all over the world.
