Our Story

The company Bleu Océane was born in 1973 in Challans in the heart of the Vendée,a territory in the north-west of France marked for decades by the textile tradition. Established in Beauvoir-sur-Mer in 2001, the family business remains faithful to these lands passionate about the fashion and luxury sector.

Back to the origins :
the Denim canvas,
the specialty of the Bleu Océane workshop

Behind the name Bleu Océane hides a passion, that of the Denim canvas. Years after its creation, the company is now the French leader in the manufacture of Clothing and textile accessories in Denim canvas for the most renowned fashion houses in France. A resounding success that owes nothing to chance!

The canvas of the "blue jeans" so characteristic has no secret for us. His story has always inspired us to create unique and precious fashion pieces.

Contraction of "Toile de Nîmes", the Denim canvas is originally a cotton fabric with characteristic twill armor. Its very tight weave is obtained from a blue-tinted warp and a white or unwred weft. The design of the weave consists of three weft threads that slip under a warp thread and then a weft thread that passes over it. As for the blue color, it comes at the time from a dye nicknamed "blu di genova",that is to say Blue of Genoa in Italian.

The expression "blu di genova" inspires the famous "blue jeans" which in turn blows its name to the Bleu Océane clothing workshop. One thing led to another, the passion for fashion forged imperceptible links...
