1938 THE BIRTH OF HOISERY

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.

1947 BIRTH OF ARMOR – LUX

THE YEARS OF WAR AND OCCUPATION DID NOT AFFECT WALTER HUBACHER’S CONFIDENCE AND CERTAINTY, EVEN THOUGH THE FACTORY’S ACTIVITIES CAME TO A HALT DURING THIS PERIOD.

In 1947, the company bought a plot of land on the race track area and a first workshop was built for 50 people. He decided to expand the collections and tackle ready-to-wear. The Armor-lux brand (ARMOR: THE SEA / LUX: LIGHT was created.
