The company was born in in Gérardmer in the Vosges region of France in 1888 by its founder Nathan Lévy. The cloth mill, after its destruction at the end of World War II, was rebuilt and started again after a short while. Thereafter, the Nathan Levy Company was taken over by the Ellis Group in 1968. It then changed its name and became Le Jacquard Français.
The first collection was launched in 1978 in collaboration with the designer Primrose Bordier.Flax was grown in the Vosges region from the earliest times. Women spun the flax and men wove the linen. After the cloths had been woven, they were washed in the water of the Gérardmer lake and bleached in the fields. Every household produced enough for its own sheets and shirts.


With the invention of the spinning machine in 1850, the number of cloth mills at Gérardmer increased. Today, Gérardmer is still an important production site for textiles. If the factory of Le Jacquard Français has been modernized since 1871, the place of production has never changed.

Combining yesterday's traditions with today's imagination, Le Jacquard Français meets the needs of a refined clientele and an international market looking for French products of high quality
