Stock since 1968
Do you know us?
Bustins Jeans is a denim fashion brand with a history. To find out more about it, you can ask your parents, aunts, uncles or grandparents if they ever bought a pair of women's jeans or men's jeans in Platja d'Aro, on the Costa Brava, and if the answer is yes, they will tell you themselves. But if they say no, then you'll have to continue reading this post...
Rosa and Albert Bustins were sister and brother, and children and grandchildren of tailors from Llagostera (Girona) who decided to set up in the textile industry in 1968, during the tourism boom on the Costa Brava; they opened up a small shop in the Galerías Neptuno 23 in Platja d’Aro. Albert was an admirer of American culture, their lifestyle and their dress style and, together with his sister, he started to design the jeans that were called BustinStock for over 50 years.
In the early 1970s, they opened their own tailoring workshop and designed many collections linked to the American western (country) style. In the mid 70s, they opened a large shop on the main avenue of Platja d'Aro, the STOCK, which until the end of 2020 has been the flagship of the brand.
During the 1980’s the brand expanded and they opened their own outlets in coastal towns such as Ibiza, Lloret de Mar, Roses and Benidorm. BustinSTOCK jeans also came to the Ramblas Avenue in Barcelona and to Madrid, with two shops – one in Alcalá St. and the other in Fuencarral St. Thus, BustinSTOCK jeans played a part in the Movida Madrileña musical and cultural movement.
Making the founders’ dream come true, the brand crossed the Atlantic and in the year 1990 a shop was set up in Los Angeles (7373 Melrose Avenue).
Globalisation and imported clothing brought the company to close most of its physical outlets, except for the ones in Roses and Platja d’Aro, where the stores were open until the end of 2020.
Currently, following a short pause, and with a new generation of the family, BustinSTOCK has become Bustins Jeans, with our first online shop and another at our original premises in Galerías Neptuno! Fancy paying us a visit?
