FROM GIPSY S.P.A. TO SCORPION BAY S.P.A.
THE MISTRI’S STORY
Positive thinking, courage, honest work and being able to take time off for oneself are all values that Serafino and Caterina Mistri passed on to their daughter Emanuela and to their son Lucio, in charge of Gipsy S.p.A. since 1977.
Founded in the Fifties as a small tailor house, Gipsy S.p.A. became soon a company.
After twenty years producing t-shirts and sweatshirts for worldwide famous sport brands, Lucio and Emanuela, driven by a great strategic vision, stopped the internal production in 1992 and started distributing the newly founded Scorpion Bay brand all over Europe.
In 2003 Gipsy acquired the European license for Scorpion Bay and in 2007, the year marking the 20th Scorpion Bay anniversary and the 30th anniversary for Gipsy, the acquisition of the Scorpion Bay brand was signed.
This was an important step for both the company and a brand that doesn’t simply sell high quality and innovative products but portraits a lifestyle and peruse the dream of freedom that everybody is looking for: to wear a Scorpion Bay garment is to live the taste, the colours and the beauties of Baja California.
The link between the brand from Baja California and the company itself was so stong that in 2012 Gipsy S.p.A. was re-named and Scorpion Bay S.p.A was founded.
Nowadays Scorpion Bay S.p.A. is a fast growing company with a capillary presence all over the Italian market and with a strong outlook on the international arena. The flavor and emotion of Baja California can be found in our flagship stores and in all the shop-in-shop worldwide.
