A French clothing company that was founded back in 1965, Marithe Francois Girbaud is the brainchild of a married couple, Marithé Bachellerie and François Girbaud, who both had a keen eye for fashion and detail. From the time that they started selling pieces in the market in 1969, they were able to gain a wide customer base, reaching to the many countries across the globe and in the US, primarily in the suburbs and other urban communities of Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. They specialize in casual clothing, particularly jeans. Their flagship stores are situated in Beverly Hills and in Paris. 

Although the company faced a controversy in 2005, they were able to rise above it and continue to make stylish creations that made the brand even more popular up to this day. Their pieces show an in influence of Japanese design, reveling in design elements of reversibility, cylinders and mutation. Fashion critics from all over the world say that from the creation and recreation of the casual jeans-based look that the Girbauds have done, they can be considered as one of the most consistent, most innovative, experimental and concept-driven designers.
