Історія моди
Founded in 1939 by Charles Bert, Orcival takes its name from a village in the Auvergne region. The company gained historical prominence as an official supplier of striped jerseys to the French Navy. This military association solidified the Marinière as a staple of French national identity. Throughout the twentieth century, the brand transitioned from functional maritime gear to a symbol of Parisian intellectual and artistic fashion, maintaining production in France to preserve traditional manufacturing techniques.
