Our History
A family saga built on a rich industrial history and know-how.
The origins
of textile expertise
1855 – 1880
1855
The First Foundations
Jean-Baptiste LAROZIÈRE founded the textile business in Amiens, in the Somme (80). He purchased a weaving mill and started producing Utrecht velvet, laying the foundations of the family expertise.
1870
Craftsmanship Becomes a Profession
His sons and grandsons took over the torch. Through them, the company evolved, became structured, and developed new skills: weaving, garment production, marketing, and finishing — a delicate stage that enhances the material. The craft became expertise.
1880
Growing Reputation
The business expanded, and the fabric, locally recognized as the best in Amiens, gained national recognition.
