What Maison Cornichon is known for
French knitwear brand founded in 2016 by Thibault Negra, based in Bordeaux, producing t-shirts, henleys and sweats entirely in France at a Dordogne workshop dating to 1949, using GOTS-certified organic cotton on vintage 1950s looms.
Maison Cornichon is a French menswear-basics brand founded by Thibault Negra, based in Bordeaux, producing t-shirts since 2016. Its manufacturing is anchored at a production workshop in southwestern France, in the Dordogne, that the brand traces back to 1949. Garments are made using traditional looms dating from the 1950s, a slower, more labor-intensive process the brand says produces a thicker, sturdier knit than typical mass-market t-shirt production. All fabric is GOTS-certified organic cotton, and production stays entirely within France. It has drawn attention from French menswear press and stockists including Beams' mail-order arm in Japan.
