Marc O’Polo is a high-end fashion brand with Swedish roots, founded in Stockholm in 1967 by Rolf Lind, Göte Huss, and Jerry O'Sheets. The brand quickly became known for its 'philosophy of naturalness,' favoring materials like cotton, linen, and wool over synthetic fibers, which was a revolutionary stance in the late 1960s. Today, the brand is widely recognized for its clean Scandinavian aesthetic and focus on sustainability within the premium casual segment.

While the brand originated in Sweden, its strategic and operational center moved to Germany in the late 1990s when Werner Böck acquired a majority stake. The company is now headquartered in Stephanskirchen, Germany. Manufacturing is distributed globally across several regions, including Europe and Asia, to maintain its large international retail presence. The brand remains privately held by the Böck family and other shareholders, continuing to operate independently as a leading premium fashion house.
