The Kooples apparel

Founded in Paris in 2008 by brothers Alexandre, Laurent, and Raphaël Elicha, The Kooples is a renowned French fashion house that bridged the gap between high-street and luxury fashion. The brand is celebrated for its rock-and-roll aesthetic, unisex tailoring, and edgy, Parisian-chic designs. Its name is a phonetic play on the English word 'couples,' a theme reflected in its iconic advertising campaigns featuring real-life romantic duos.

While the creative heart of the brand remains in France, manufacturing is distributed across multiple global locations including Portugal, Turkey, Romania, and China, depending on the specific garment or leather good. In 2019, The Kooples was acquired by the Swiss holding company MF Brands Group, formerly known as Maus Frères. This acquisition integrated the brand into a prestigious portfolio that focuses on high-end lifestyle and apparel labels, ensuring its continued global expansion and brand development.
