The company was born from the will of one man: Walter Hubacher.

The years of war and occupation did not affect Walter Hubacher's confidence and certainty, even though the factory's activities came to a halt during this period.
1980 - The Rise
In the early 1980s, the company grew to 600 employees.
1990 - A New Beginning
In the early 90's, Walter Hubacher crossed paths with two childhood friends, Jean-Guy Le Floch and Michel Guéguen, who bought the Bonneterie d'Armor from him.
In 1990, the company made a new start under their management. These Finisterian industrialists developed the brand, the ready-to-wear collections and the network of boutiques while maintaining our exceptional expertise Quimper.
