Scalpers

Scalpers was founded in Seville in 2007 by seven friends, among them Rafael de Medina, the 20th Duke of Feria, along with Borja Vázquez and Alfonso Vivancos. The brand built its identity around a skull-and-crossbones emblem, explained on the company's own materials as a reference to the historic practice of scalping among Native American tribes reclaiming freedom from colonizers — recast as a symbol of rebellion against convention. Scalpers began as a menswear-only label, focused on tailored suits, ties, and dress shoes aimed at what Spanish press dubbed the local 'jet set,' and helped popularize slippers as everyday menswear in Spain. The brand expanded steadily beyond its founding category: a children's line launched in 2013, a womenswear collection followed in 2018, and a capsule collection for girls arrived in 2019. What started as a single Seville venture by a group of friends has grown into a multi-category fashion company while keeping its skull emblem and Andalusian origin as its throughline.
