Brand intelligence
Fursac
Fursac is the French menswear house founded in Paris in 1973 by brothers Simon and Bertrand Laufer, named after their original workshops in Saint-Étienne-de-Fursac. It builds a modern men’s wardrobe around tailoring, precise construction, knitwear, outerwear and considered everyday pieces. Fursac is part of SMCP alongside Sandro, Maje and Claudie Pierlot. Gauthier Borsarello is Creative Director, while Louise Bousquet Andreani is Chief Executive Officer. The profile keeps the founders’ legacy, the current creative mandate and SMCP ownership distinct. Any financial information belongs to SMCP’s consolidated reporting unless an official disclosure identifies Fursac itself, rather than being presented as standalone brand performance.
