Founded by François Girbaud and Marithé Bachellerie, Marithé + François Girbaud is a denim and sportswear label which has its roots from the late 1960s.

It is one of the first labels which specialized in denim and in a roundabout way, the youth culture with a "dash of forward-looking politic that would speak to the needs of everyday people."

"Thirty years later, that political urgency still seems to infuse the design sensibility of Marithé + François Girbaud.

Girbaud and his partner Marithé Bachellerie, have built the label's reputation around around denim-the wardrobe of the working man-but at the same time have been relentless innovators in the areas of fabric, fit and finish." (From www.girbaud.com)

The label, while approaching its fourth decade continue to be a main force in urban wear. New urban wear designers might come into existence, yet Marithé + François Girbaud continues to expand its market share because of the designers had never stop breaking new grounds in this niche market.
