VITOS 1925

INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION

THE ERA OF BLENDED YARNS

Nylon was invented and Vitos was one of the 4 pilot factories that perfected the art of nylon knitting in France, before creating its own blended yarn 'Crylor', a mix of natural and synthetic yarns.

THE FIRST

FULLY FASHIONED SWEATER

Thanks to its industrial facilities and know-how, Vitos created the first "fully-fashioned" sweater. More comfortable, it also look better thanks to the flatter seams. It
quickly became the brand flagship product. Because of the lack of cutting of fabric, fully fashioned knitwear has zero waste.

TRIBUTE TO COLORS

THE EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN

Women's bodies found freedom and it was time for new things: shapes and tangy colors. Vitos celebrated its one millionth sweater in 1963 by dressing the Bluebell girls with 25 different colors.

TWIN SET

THE RISE OF READY-TO-WEAR

A new decade marked by the comeback of the famous twin set launched in the 1930s that suited perfectly either house wives or working women. 

VITOS DRESSES A WOMAN'S DAY

Women were more active, free and urban. Wide open crew-necks and plunge V-necks were must have knitwear in a woman's wardrobe.

QUALITY NEVER LIES

Despite the production shutdown, Vitos linking machines used for fully-fashioned knitwear still run in most of factories in France. No planned obsolescence!

VITOS GETS ITS COLOUR BACK

Rekindled in 2018 by the fifth generation of the family, Valerie's ambition is to (re)create quality and timeless knitwear that runs counter to fast fashion.
