THE LEGEND !

THE LEGEND !

The true story of 5 rugby players who broke the established codes of an amateur sport to create an unprecedented and unique adventure, full of madness and audacity.

1987

The brand’s history kicked off in 1987 when Franck Mesnel and Eric Blanc, two Rugby internationals playing for one of the world’s most prestigious multi-sports clubs – the Racing Club de France – decided to establish a high-end clothes brand.

Combining their creative and offbeat spirits, they came up with a brand whose codes and inspiration find their origin in a story as extraordinary as it is authentic.

Driven by their love of paradox and attention to detail, Franck Mesnel and Eric Blanc created a genuine Eden Park style, the legitimate icon of which is the Rugby jersey in all its shapes and forms.

The French Flair

The French Flair it’s that creative French know-how, the little “je ne sais quoi” which means that every garment we create is inspired by French tradition,signed and identifiable. Easily recognizable thanks to their symbolic logo, the Pink Bow Tie, all our creations pay special attention to the quality of fabrics and the many unique details.

The French Flair is not only transposed in the products but also in our new store concept. Modern and Parisian, this concept is intended to be clearer and more minimalist, accept the emphasis on references all Haussmannian such as the chevron flooring in Herringbone Style.

Why the pink bow tie?

« The idea of the Pink Bow Tie was born in the 1987 season some time before we played in the final of the French Championship, during a dinner which as you can imagine was well lubricated and eminently strategic. We urgently needed to find something which symbolized our state of mind, something worthy of this historic day, a unique opportunity which could also be celebrated in our “Number One” attire, in other words a tuxedo. We retained the original attributes of the bow tie, but it seemed more festive for us to die it pink, as a reference to our mascot, the famous Pink Panther, and of the pink underwear we had famously worn in some matches. »
