Fumarel (Spanish pronunciation: [fumaˈɾel]), is a Spanish clothing company, specialising in technical sportswear. It takes its name from the black tern (chlidonias niger), a small seabird known in Spanish as fumarel.
It was founded in 1987 by two cousins from distinguished families, with the aim of providing high-performance equipment for the outdoors while maintaining classic and timeless designs.[1] As a brand dedicated to clothing for luxurious sports (i.e. skiing, hunting, polo, or sailing), Fumarel became strongly associated with the upper classes,[2] and was commonly worn by the Spanish royal family.[3][4] Bruno Gómez-Acebo, Infanta Pilar's second son, was one of its boardmembers.[5][6]
In 2008, the firm filed for bankruptcy following a debt moratorium as a result of the worldwide financial crash.[7][8] Since 2017, Fumarel has been relaunched by the co-founder's son, Pedro Domecq.[9]
