What we know

Le Slip Français, a French brand of underwear and clothing manufactured entirely in France, entered the Paris stock exchange on July 14, 2026, according to France 24. The company is aiming to raise €5 million to accelerate its development.

Founded in 2011, the brand built its commercial identity around "Made in France." Entirely domestic production is its primary differentiator against international competition.

Context: A textile sector in deep transition

The French textile industry has undergone massive deindustrialization over the past three decades. Employment fell from 425,000 jobs in 1990 to 62,500 today—a loss of over 85%. Relocations to China, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are the primary cause.

Facing this competition—which fuels fast fashion, the ephemeral mode characterized by extremely rapid replacement of clothing items for sale—French textile manufacturers have reoriented their strategy. They are betting on quality, traceability, and innovation as value-add arguments.

The 2030 Alpine Olympics as international showcase

Several organizations in the sector hope that the 2030 Winter Olympics—the XXVI Winter Olympic Games, scheduled for the French Alps—will help better showcase French textile expertise on the international stage.
