“We're delighted to be working with Eric Bompard, the leading cashmere expert. The Atelier Bompard collection enables us to give a new lease of life to French expertise and helps to revitalise the sustainable knitwear ecosystem’’ Karine Renouil-Thibergien, Co-CEO of Manufacture de Tricots Jean Ruiz in Roanne.

It took Eric Bompard and its partners more than a year to launch this initiative last year, with the search for workshops capable of spinning cashmere, creating prototypes, finalising production details and logistics.

These incredibly comfortable pieces have been seamlessly knitted using a 3D tubular machine, the most advanced technology available in the world of luxury knitwear. This complex technique makes it possible to showcase the unique quality of Eric Bompard cashmeres through the production of more hard-wearing pullovers and accessories.

The decision to locate part of the production in France has culminated this year in a more complete collection, featuring twelve women's, men's and accessory items in around fifteen colours, compared to four last year.
