Chartreuse trail packs with French workshops, rental and lifetime repairs
Founded by a textile engineer and trail runner in 1999, bought by Rossignol in 2016 and bought back by its founder in 2020. Three French sewing workshops between Grenoble and Albertville make around 40,000 pieces a year, about a fifth of turnover; the brand says doing all of it in France would blow up prices. Repairs for life, a rental service and a shop at 1000 m in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse.
