Heritage tank tops and knitwear inspired by French industrial history.
Tricots Marcel traces its origins to Roanne, a historic French knitwear city where the iconic Marcel tank top was industrialised during the 20th century. The garment, originally designed as an undergarment for workers, became a staple of French popular culture and later a fashion statement.
The modern Tricots Marcel brand revives this heritage with a focus on local production, premium cotton knit fabrics, and precise fit. The brand produces tank tops and knit essentials using high-quality cotton, including premium long-staple fibres, with attention to durability and comfort.
Tricots Marcel positions the tank top both as underwear and as minimalist outerwear, bridging industrial heritage and contemporary wardrobe essentials.
Tricots Marcel embodies a rare combination of cultural history and contemporary craftsmanship. The Marcel tank top is not just a garment but a piece of French social history, and the brand treats it with the seriousness and respect it deserves.
