Brand history and heritage
Armor lux is a Breton brand founded in 1938. Its design language comes from the sea, and the names of the garments declare it: the marinière is the striped top of the nautical wardrobe, the pull marin is the sailor pullover, and the veste pêcheur is the fisherman's jacket. These are the core families around which we curated the selection for Pier Paolo Marotta. In our assortment, Armor lux sits alongside British and European brands such as Universal Works, Baracuta, and Paraboot.
The name Héritage appears on the striped marinière tops and the Molène pull marin, alongside the model name: it is the official brand designation, and we retain it as is.
