The true marinière, since 1939

Provenance

Lyon, France

Orcival has been producing authentic French sailor shirts since 1939. Woven and constructed in Lyon, France using traditional Rachel looms, every marinière carries the trace of its naval roots - a garment originally made for utility, now revered for its timelessness.


The label’s bee emblem, registered alongside the brand, guarantees authenticity. Unlike fast fashion imitators, Orcival never strayed: no outsourcing, no gimmicks - just a deep commitment to enduring quality and responsible production.


From Picasso to Gaultier, Bardot to modern wearers of every age, the Orcival stripe has adorned mavericks, artists and thinkers - always in good company.
