Historia mody
Established in 1893 by Pierre Valton in Troyes, France, the company initially focused on hosiery. In 1918, Valton’s son, Etienne, revolutionized undergarments by removing the legs from traditional long johns, creating the modern cotton brief. This innovation significantly altered garment history. The brand remains culturally significant for its association with French national identity and its role in popularizing the marinière as a staple of casual European fashion.
