Franklin & Marshall is an Italian clothing manufacturer and retailer, founded and headquartered in Montorio Veronese, a town in the province of Verona in 1999.

The company was founded in 1999 by two entrepreneurs in Montorio Veronese, a town in the province of Verona.[1] The founders, Giuseppe Albarelli and Andrea Pensiero, discovered an old Franklin & Marshall College (based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania) jumper in a London charity shop, and started a fashion label because they liked the name.[2] About a year later the College contacted them, and despite being initially negative, they became supportive and appreciated the publicity.[2]

90% of their clothing is made in Italy.[3]
