Les Tricots Marcel - Clothing Made in France
Les Tricots Marcel represents an emblematic brand of French fashion. We offer a collection of clothing made in France, such as tank tops, T-Shirts, sweaters, shirts, Sweat-Shirts, hats and scarves. All our Made in France clothing, for men and women, are in Pima cotton, organic cotton or Merino wool.
The History of Marcel and the Return of its Production in France
Our iconic garment, the Marcel tank top, was born around 1860 when workers at Les Halles de Paris cut the sleeves of their sweaters for greater comfort. This tank top, quickly adopted by workers, farmers and soldiers, became a symbol of French style.
This innovative body knit traveled from Paris to Roanne, a small town in the Loire, where Établissements Marcel, led by Marcel Eizenberg, decided to produce it. The popularity of Marcel quickly grew, making it famous in France and abroad. In the 1950s, it was omnipresent on beaches, symbolizing the first paid holidays, and made appearances on cinema screens in Europe and America.
Marcel's Return to France in 2019
In 2019, we decided to bring the production of Marcels back to France. Based in the heart of a region historically linked to the textile industry, in Roanne, we have relaunched the manufacturing of this garment authentically made in France. Our local workshops are dedicated to making high quality clothing, made with carefully selected raw materials. Each Marcel for men and women, French origin, is made with untreated Pima cotton, offering softness and durability. Knitting as well as dyeing and making are carried out in Roanne, France.
We offer a varied range of ultra comfortable clothing Made in France for men and women, including Marcel tank tops, undershirts, T-Shirts, Sweat Shirts, shirts, sweaters, hats, scarves as well as sports bags and other accessories . Our products are designed to be worn every day, reflecting fashionable, sustainable and responsible fashion. You can wear your tank top alone, with a lumberjack jacket or shirt. Then combine it with blue pants, blue jeans or a dress. Our seamstresses, experienced and trained on site, take care of each stage of the production, guaranteeing exceptional quality. Our approach aims to maintain an ethical production model, respectful of people and the environment.
A Responsible and Transparent Brand
Our Made in France brand stands out for its commitment to responsible production. We use organic and recycled materials for our clothing, and each item is made with the greatest care. Our company, Établissements Marcel, represents not only a part of the history of French fashion, but also an example of quality and know-how. Our Pima/organic cotton or merino wool clothing is made to last, combining tradition and innovation in each creation.
By bringing production back to France, we have not only created local jobs, but also guaranteed full traceability of our products.
