Geschiedenis
Founded in 2004 by Laurent Emsellem in Marseille, Kaporal emerged from a family legacy in the textile industry. The Emsellem family previously operated the Mc Lem brand before launching Kaporal to focus on the premium denim market. It gained cultural significance in France by democratizing stylized jeans during the early 2000s denim boom. The brand's history is defined by its transition from a local denim specialist to a global ready-to-wear retailer.
