Burleon Group

The Burleoni Group is a Cattalian multinational luxury goods conglomerate, headquartered in Celeste. The company was formed by the 1912 merger of Remmé and Alcan, led by Remmé chairman Sebastian Burleon. It controls four prestigious brands, run in a semi-independent manner, that combined operate in 213 locations across the world.

History
Sebastian Burleon was chief designer at designer fashion group Remmé between 1889 and 1910, before becoming chairman of the brand after buying a 25% stake from its founder, Charles Remmé. He pushed for the company to expand internationally, and was approached by the owner of Anglo-Cattalian department store Alcan, Lord Alcan, which had an interest in acquiring new designer brands for its European operations. The two companies agreed a merger in 1912 to form the Remmé-Alcan Company, which was co-owned by Burleon and Alcan.

Lord Alcan sold his 50% stake in the group to Burleon in 1915 after acquiring significant debts funding his estates in Surrey and Amosseri through the First World War. Burleon renamed the group as the Burleoni Group and established a third brand for the group, the House of Burleon.
