Montagut (clothing)

Montagut is a French knitwear brand renowned for its high-quality Fil Lumière fabric, a mercerized cotton yarn known for its silky appearance, durability, and resistance to wrinkling. The brand was founded in 1880 by the Brac de la Perrière family in Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut, a village in the Ardèche region of France.

Initially focused on silk production, Montagut transitioned to cotton knitwear in the 1950s, developing the proprietary Fil Lumière process. This innovation propelled the brand to international recognition, becoming synonymous with elegant and comfortable knitwear for both men and women.

Montagut's product line includes a variety of garments, such as sweaters, polo shirts, cardigans, and t-shirts. They are known for their classic designs and emphasis on quality materials. While Fil Lumière remains a signature fabric, Montagut also utilizes other materials like merino wool, cashmere, and linen in its collections.

The brand has a global presence, with boutiques and retail partners worldwide. Montagut continues to be family-owned and operated, emphasizing its heritage and commitment to craftsmanship.
