What MC2 Saint Barth is known for
Italian resort-wear brand born 1994, founded by Massimiliano Ferrari and Raffaele Noris and named for the aircraft route between St. Martin and St. Barthelemy; now managed by Bergamo's Lanikai s.r.l.
MC2 Saint Barth is an Italian beachwear and resort-wear brand launched in 1994 by Massimiliano Ferrari and Raffaele Noris. Despite the name, the company itself is Italian rather than based on the island of Saint-Barthelemy: 'MC2' references the aircraft model that historically flew the short hop between St. Martin and St. Barthelemy. What began as swimwear has grown into a broader lifestyle line covering both beach and ski-resort settings. The company is managed by Lanikai s.r.l., based in Bergamo, Italy. In 2022, private equity firm Peninsula Capital together with the Percassi Group acquired a 40% minority stake, with the founders retaining 60% ownership.
