Lamarthe finds new owners
29/01/2013
The brand began in 1930, created by artisan leathergoods manufacturer Alfred Lamarthe. Industry commentators have said that it reached its peak in the 1980s and was, at that time, spoken of as being one of the three Ls, with the other two being Longchamps and Lancel, both of which went on to finish the twentieth century and begin the twenty-first in a much stronger position.
In 2004, Lamarthe was purchased by three Italian entrepreneurs, who ran the company until entering administration and then liquidation in 2010. It was at this point that Sergiolin bought the brand, keeping one store in Paris and one in Spain, as well as supply arrangements with a number of department stores.
