Modegeschiedenis
Founded in 1997 by Decathlon, Quechua is headquartered in Domancy, France, near the Mont Blanc massif. The brand was established to design products specifically for mountain environments. Historically, it contributed to the accessibility of outdoor activities by providing technical gear at lower price points. In recent years, Quechua has gained relevance in fashion history through the gorpcore movement, where its functional items are repurposed as urban streetwear.
