Located in the heart of Morbihan, Brocéliande Garment Making was founded in 1972. The company is one of those clothing manufacturers that have weathered the major upheavals in the French textile industry. Initially specializing in garment making for large batches of orders, it has gradually transformed its business model to become a recognized partner of premium brands, capable of supporting their projects from creative development through to production.
Garment making knits in France is not based on a single design. Between volumes, technicality and product development, the industrial realities are multiple. The group led by Karine Renouil-Tiberghien and Arnaud de Belabre is built on this complementarity.
Founded in 1981 following the closure of a major garment manufacturer, LG Couture today specializes in the manufacture of structured garments for high-end customers and Luxury houses. Over more than forty years in business, the company has undergone several revival phases, enabling it to adapt its positioning in a context marked by profound changes in the apparel industry.
In the heart of the Roanne region, historically linked to knits, Elite embodies a reality often overlooked: that of workshops capable not only of producing, but above all of designing the material itself. This specificity sets knitting apart in the textile chain, halfway between industry, craftsmanship and technical development.
In Quelmes, Pas-de-Calais, the Miditex workshop bears witness to a history that began in the aftermath of the Second World War. From children's garment making to women's ready-to-wear, from the years of globalization to the revival of Made in France, the company has gone through the cycles of the industry without giving up on producing in France.
