The company was born from the will of one man: Walter Hubacher.A Swiss engineer with an entrepreneurial spirit. Finistère in Quimper was the location. He founded his company on 7th October 1938, under the name of "Bonneterie d'Armor" and specialised in lingerie and underwear.

In the early 1980s, the company grew to 600 employees. Armor-lux was now able to dress the whole family in warm, comfortable clothes knitted in natural materials like wool and cotton. The brand also dresses seafarers with clothes from the Breton seafaring wardrobe: Kabig coat, nautical sweatshirt, jacket, Breton striped top etc.

Since the beginning, Armor-lux has been committed to offering quality products by perpetuating exceptional local expertise. Aware of the current challenges, we have been working for more than 30 years to guarantee secure manufacturing chains which respect fundamental labour rights, health and the environment. Surrounded by its 600 employees, Armor-lux works each and every day to ensure that the little stripe never gets wrinkled and that it continues to shine throughout the world!
