Geschiedenis
Founded in 1921 by Marc and Marcelle Millet, the company initially produced shopping bags and haversacks. In 1950, Millet gained international recognition by providing the backpacks for the first successful ascent of Annapurna. This event established the brand as a primary equipment provider for mountaineering. Throughout the late twentieth century, the brand expanded into specialized technical clothing, contributing to the evolution of modern alpine gear and professional mountain guiding equipment.
