Our Story

Founded in Barcelona in 1984, Desigual began with Thomas Meyer’s creation of an upcycled jacket that revolutionised fashion. The name “Desigual,” meaning “it’s not the same,” perfectly reflects our DNA: bold, authentic, and unapologetically unique.

From our first store in Ibiza to over 500 locations in 92 countries, Desigual has stayed true to its roots. Powerful prints, original designs and fabric combinations define the unique style that is Desigual.

Our designer women’s clothing, unique pieces for men and women celebrate individuality through colourful, optimistic, and rebellious designs.

We are 100% Desigual

At Desigual, everyone can be the best version of themselves. We don’t believe in hierarchies or strict rules. You decide how to grow and in what direction, which is why we promote autonomy, responsibility, and maturity.

Driven by the joy of life

We have always been different and optimistic. We believe in joy as a catalyst for energy, as a machine that drives the world and as an honest and direct message, while always being aware of the reality in which we are living.

And all the while respecting the environment

We seek harmony between ourselves and our surroundings. We believe this is vital, and that is why we strive every day to reduce our environmental impact by trying to repay the planet for the gifts it has given us.

We believe we're better together

We are a company that is young at heart, where diversity and creativity thrive. We live everyday life with passion and intensity. We like to celebrate our achievements and spread positive energy.

Life Is Too Short To Be Ordinary. Be Extraordinary.

Desigual Mantra

In a world that tends to label, categorise, and pigeonhole, we reject the idea of always having to choose the same path. We believe in the beauty of diversity, in the magic of individuality, and in the power of the extraordinary. We rebel against uniformity, and we dare to be different. We celebrate the unique and the exceptional because we believe every person carries extraordinary potential within themselves.
