History
A French brand, established in 1930, we make and sell clothing and accessories in a spirit of simplicity and accessibility to support slow travel on outdoor and urban terrain, in keeping with sustainable-development principles. We think the journey is part of the trip. Headquartered in Annecy, in the French Alps, we make our products in our factories in France, Hungary and China. We design and develop our ranges in-house with a small, agile and motivated team.
