The store name Brandy Melville was inspired by two people in love. â(Brandy) was this American girl, and Melville was this English guy. They fell in love in Rome. â¦ It was a cute love story,â Longo said. Silvio Marsan, the founder of Brandy Melville, started his career 30 years ago when he was producing merchandise for numerous famous Italian brands. His son, Stephan Marsan, opened the first Brandy Melville store 15 years ago.
