The knitting innovation with 100% cotton rib.
Cut and sewn by hand in Mendrisio.
The Tank Top – known from Rocky, Wolverine and Emily in Paris.
In 1871, Pauline Zimmerli laid the foundation for a textile legend with a revolutionary knitting machine. More than mere underwear, the iconic RICHELIEU fabric was born. This unique rib, crafted from the purest cotton, contours to the body with natural elasticity. Over the decades, it has evolved from a Swiss insider secret into a definitive staple of the Hollywood wardrobe. The RICHELIEU tank top has been worn by iconic characters in film classics such as Rocky and Wolverine, as well as in modern productions like Emily in Paris.
To this day, every piece is manufactured in Switzerland with the utmost precision: knitted in Ermatingen on Lake Constance, then hand-cut and sewn in Mendrisio. Thus, the RICHELIEU styles meet the exacting standards of cultural pioneers who appreciate timeless design and uncompromising quality.
