Macson Stories

The origins of the brand are founded on a great friendship, the one that our founder Domingo Obradors, textile industrialist, forged in 1929 with Lord Macson, who was the director of the British Pavilion at the Universal Expo that took place in Barcelona at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Fate would have the Prince of Wales stolen some trunks of clothes during those days of equestrian exhibition in Barcelona, ​​and Lord Macson, who was a friend of Edward of England, took advantage of Domingo's presence to request him to do so urgently, a series of bespoke shirts for the king, as Obradors was known for being an excellent Barcelona tailor specializing in men's shirts.

After the successful urgent delivery of the shirts made to measure by Obradors, Lord Macson, by way of gratitude, mediated so that Wallis Simpson, the American owner of the stallion Neptuno, agreed to cross her horse with the Catalan textile industrialist's mare, since It was the great illusion of his wife. Hence the Trident horse was born, which symbolizes this beautiful story of FRIENDSHIP, HONOR, and COMMITMENT and has become the logo of the MACSON brand. And also from there arose a wonderful friendship for years and years between Lord Macson and Domingo Obradors, to whom he named the clothing brand in honor of the illustrious English friend in 1942.
