Fashion History
Founded in 1969 by René and Yvette Derhy in Paris, the company initially gained prominence by importing Indian cotton tunics. This coincided with the rise of the hippie movement and the demand for ethnic textiles in Western fashion. The brand became a central figure in the Sentier garment district. It contributed to the popularization of the bohemian-bourgeois style in France, maintaining a consistent focus on artisanal techniques and global cultural influences throughout its history.
