Bragard, 89 years of savoir-faire

More than 89 years of savoir-faire

The first customer of Henri Bragard was an artist, a neighbour of the little family grocery store where the young Henri, 26 years old, made his first professional garment for this artisan: a painter's smock. It was in 1933.

Launch of
the Grand Chef jacket

The year 1976 marks another turning point in the history of the Bragard brand that transforms it into the leading professional clothing firm. That is the year that Gilles Bragard designs and launches the now famous Grand Chef jacket, in collaboration with Monsieur Paul Bocuse. The extremely high standards of these two great men elevate this jacket into an iconic ensemble by virtue of its excellence, technical qualities, and high technology which have endured for over 40 years. Today, the Bragard firm continues to create new collections, always keeping in mind this ingenious jacket which has stood the test of time, knowing constant success over the years, as successful now as it has ever been.

LAUNCH OF
THE FIRST SHIRT JACKET

The meeting with Cédric Béchade for the creation of the AUBERGE collection led us to create the first shirt-jacket. To break down the barriers and unify the various trades of the profession by allowing the members of each of them to recognise themselves in the attire they wear - that was the leitmotiv for the creation of this line. In 2017, the collection was expanded and now offers new products that are just as technical and refined.

Bragard knows how to sport its own colours while collaborating with the biggest names in gastronomy.
