History
Bernardo Goldfarb founded the company in 1948 as Marisa Malhas in São Paulo, Brazil. It transitioned from a small knitwear shop to a national department store chain. Historically, the brand played a significant role in the democratization of fashion in Brazil by introducing consumer credit options specifically targeted at women. This strategy influenced the retail landscape, establishing the brand as a dominant fixture in Brazilian urban commercial centers for several decades.
