Brandy Melville, a popular Italian-based brand of beachy, chic apparel, just opened its first Orange County boutique at Fashion Island.
The label founded more than 30 years ago in Rome, Italy has grown into a cult favorite line of comfortable basics made from high quality fabrics at reasonable prices. Often compared to a chicer version of American Apparel, it’s known for its loose fitting off-shoulder tees, stylish dresses, tops and sweaters.
It’s a trend favorite boutique where women all over the world can find stylish apparel made in Italy. Open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Brandy Melville is near Nordstrom at Fashion Island. 949.640.0488.
