History

This sports brand from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, was created by Josep Mestre and Joaquim Ballbé. They teamed up in the 1940s with a dream of co-creating a classic swim– and sportswear line, and "ME ‘y’ BA" was born.

After years of successfully creating shorts, shirts and shoes for the popular beaches of Barceloneta, it was not until 1981 that Meyba became an internationally known. By signing an agreement with FC Barcelona to provide sports– and leisurewear, the dream of Mestre and Ballbé was about to come true. During the 10 years that FC Barcelona wore Meyba apparel, the team won many prizes and honors. The team, with players such as Michael Laudrup, Ronald Koeman, José Mari Bakero and the young Pep Guardiola, will forever be remembered as "the Dreamteam V1". And Meyba, with its bold designs, daring use of colour and the Mitica M symbol, will likewise forever be remembered with them.

Today, Meyba brings a collection of casual sportswear that pays homage to the origins and principles of the old Mediterranean values.
