About Harmont & Blaine Brand

One of Harmont & Blaine’s secrets of success is in its logo: a small dachshund dog. The story behind this likeable creature reflects the company’s philosophy and values. Not many people know that the dachshund is a German dog bred for hunting and famed for being an excellent bloodhound; nature has given it a body that’s more comical than efficient, so the dachshund has had to hone its nose and intelligence to prove its worth. The same can be applied to a small business in Naples which was emerging in challenging times, in the second half of the 1980’s. It too, had to hone its nose and intelligence to establish a foothold on an Italian fashion market that was demanding and competitive. This logo, which has international success and recognition, accompanies top-quality, total look casualwear with a young spirit.

“Harmont & Blaine” is the history of a family, a family and their homeland. “Harmont & Blaine” is the history of an entrepreneurial project born and raised in a corner of Italy renowned as one of the most enchanting places of the world: the Gulf of Naples, a paradise on earth where air, land, sea and sun melt to create breathtaking views.

In 1995 the first “Harmont & Blaine” collection was presented in Capri and the dachshund became the signature logo of a casual refined style characterised by an unmistakable mediterranean flair.

The following years ushered in a string of successes, marking the decisive and progressive affirmation of “Harmont & Blaine” on the world fashion scene and the dachshund logo has conquered the most relevant windows for the clothing industry in major cities and resorts: from Capri to Milan, from Florence to Mexico City, Miami, Hong Kong, Dubai, Santo Domingo, the Hamptons, Puerto Banus, Beijing, El Cairo, Madrid and many more, “Harmont & Blaine” provocative style continues to gain credit in every hemisphere, making the label one of the decade’s fastest growing brands with an endless list of prestigious awards. “Harmont & Blaine’s” history is thus both sufficiently new and solidly grounded in tradition to be healthily inclined towards the future and innovation.
