maison broussaud – fashionable socks

In the picturesque Limousin region of France, there exists a story that spans three generations and eight decades – the story of Maison Broussaud. It is a tale of unwavering passion for knitting and a commitment to combining traditional craftsmanship with innovation. At the heart of this journey lies the belief that even socks can be a canvas for fashion and trends.

The journey of Maison Broussaud started in 1938 when Adrienne and Henry Broussaud, newlyweds from the quaint village of Les Cars, decided to embark on a remarkable venture. They founded a sock factory that would later employ more than 200 individuals, becoming a cornerstone of their community.

In 1984, the baton was passed to the capable hands of their children, Brigitte and Gérard. With the advent of electronic knitting machines, the factory underwent a transformation that boosted production efficiency. As technology continued to evolve, their grandkids, Aymeric and Alexandra Broussaud took the helm in 2006, steering the company into the modern era. Importantly, these technological advancements did not erase tradition; instead, they illuminated it, preserving the essence of Maison Broussaud’s heritage.

Maison Broussaud is renowned for its unwavering commitment to quality. It proudly holds the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) and Origine France Garantie (OFG) labels, reflecting its dedication to preserving French heritage and craftsmanship.

Every Broussaud sock and tight is proudly made in France, reflecting not just a product but a unique sense of style. These pieces are more than just functional; they are fashion accessories, revered for their impeccable quality and craftsmanship. This commitment to excellence has made Maison Broussaud a favorite among fashion-conscious consumers.

Moreover, in an era where responsibility and sustainability are paramount, Maison Broussaud stands as a beacon for brands seeking a more conscientious position. Esteemed brands such as Archiduchesse, Royalties Paris, Bonne Maison, Mosaert, Le Slip Français, À l’aise Breizh, and Maillebike have already chosen to collaborate with Maison Broussaud, recognizing its commitment to quality and its role in the ‘Made in France’ movement.

Maison Broussaud’s legacy is not merely a tale of knitting socks; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of craftsmanship, innovation, and style. Which will continue to shape the French fashion landscape for generations to come.
