"The company, located in the Kermarquer area in La Trinité-sur-Mer (Morbihan), has been designing and selling marine-style clothing since 1995. It equips many skippers.

The company

The story begins in Finistère in Plougasnou exactly, where the All'Océan brand was born, now based in La Trinité-sur-Mer and specializing in the design and sale of marine clothing.

"It all started from a discussion between friends. A friend made sweaters for her family and I found them really cool. So I offered to sell them door-to-door," recounts Patricia Feat, the founder.

Very quickly, success was there and Finistérienne decided to take the next step: "We have started to market sweaters made in the Monts d'Arrée." With her husband Jean-Marc, who has just started a professional retraining, Patricia Feat sets up her stalls on the markets of Morbihan. We are in 1995: All'Océan has just been born. "We shared the tours", recalls the responsible.

A hundred models

Society is changing fast. Jean-Marc and Patricia decide to distribute their collections on a larger scale: "We have started selling on European nautical shows, particularly in France, Spain, Germany but also in Belgium"

In 2000, the two Finistériens finally decided to settle down in the Morbihan. It opens their local area of ​​Kermarquer, in La Trinité sur Mer, home port of many renowned sailors.

Since then, they have pushed the walls and the brand has grown. All'Océan, it is now a hundred models of sweaters, jackets, polo shirts, vests ... Pure wool through cotton, The small business - which has 8 employees per year and up to 25 l summer - put on quality materials. "We design them and send them to manufacturing." The collections are constantly renewed. "Even if our bestsellers." Must-haves sold in the five All'Océan boutiques in the Grand Ouest or by their thirty dealers. "We were then asked to personalize the clothing for the crews, for example, or for events."

The small company then equipped itself with an embroiderer. And there again, success is there: "We had to invest. We now have three high quality embroiderers", says Patricia Feat.

A complement to the brand that the couple wishes to develop in the years to come. "We already equip quite a few skippers. The idea is to be able to respond to all requests."

Products that fans will find on the brand's new online store, launched last July. "Our customers have been asking for this for a while."
