ORGANIC HERITAGE FOR ADVENTURE : PRACTICAL, ELEGANT, DURABLE
For over a century, our family has worked with the same cotton, the same methods, and the same purpose: to create clothing that endures. Developed for jungle heat and ocean-liner humidity, these fabrics now serve modern cities. Each piece is built from long-standing materials and forms tested through use, maintaining function.

FAMILY HERITAGE OF ORGANIC SINCE 1885
Léopold Le Moult (1856–1926), great-grandfather of the family, was one of the only two in 19th-century France to ADVANCE organic agriculture...
COTTON IDEAL FOR URBAN HEAT
With extreme temperatures now common in cities, we reproduce the inherited fabric first woven in TROPICAL India for the humid jungle of DEVIL'S ISLAND in French Guiana, where night temperatures rarely fall below 23 °C / 73 °F. Our family settled there in 1897, when Léopold Le Moult refinanced his work in organic farming with a ten-year commission to build the state’s roads.
The cotton still comes from those same ancestral fields in South India, now woven by descendants of the first artisans and sewn by long-standing partners, trusted since 1974.
SHAPES MADE FOR MOVEMENT
Our heritage shapes trace back to Eugène Le Moult (1882–1965). Raised in the tropics, he became the world’s leading butterfly-hunter. His clothing was built for HEAT, HUMIDITY, and COLD Atlantic crossings, practical in form, yet consistent with the formal travel code of the 1920s.
