A BRAND WITH A STORY THAT CANNOT BE MANUFACTURED
Many brands can create a logo.
Very few can begin with a genuine story more than a century old.
The David B. Mulligan story connects golf, luxury hospitality, New York, Montreal and some of the most celebrated institutions of the early twentieth century.
David B. Mulligan was a prominent hotel executive whose career included leadership at some of North America’s most important hotels and hospitality organizations.
His world included the Waldorf Astoria, the Windsor Hotel in Montreal, Fifth Avenue, Grand Central New York, Winged Foot Golf Club and the elite social and hospitality circles of his era.
Most importantly, his name became permanently connected to one of the most universally recognized expressions in golf:
The Mulligan.
That history gives David B. Mulligan & Co. something that cannot be created through marketing alone:
Authenticity.
FROM HERITAGE TO GLOBAL LIFESTYLE BRAND
David B. Mulligan & Co. is being developed as more than a golf apparel label.
Our vision is to create a complete luxury golf and lifestyle house with carefully selected extensions across apparel, accessories, bags, watches, spirits, hospitality, publishing and experiences.
The long-term brand world may encompass:
Golf
Menswear
Womenswear
Bags
Leather Goods
Watches
Footwear
Accessories
Travel
Resort Lifestyle
Hospitality
Spirits
Publishing
Media
Heritage Experiences
Each category is intended to strengthen the central David B. Mulligan story rather than dilute it.
