Founded in 1837 by Joseph Pollet in Roubaix, in the heart of France’s historic textile district, La Redoute stands as one of the most iconic and long-standing names in the French fashion and
homeware industries. Originally a wool spinning mill, the company gradually evolved into one of Europe’s leading mail-order platforms, and today is a key player in the omnichannel e-commerce landscape for fashion,
home and décor. Now part of the Galeries Lafayette Group, the brand’s evolution illustrates a rare ability to blend industrial heritage with digital innovation, while maintaining a distinctive identity inspired by contemporary French taste. From the outset, La Redoute has interpreted social and cultural changes through the design of its products. The publication of its first catalogue in 1928 marked a pivotal moment in retail, offering a new purchasing model that made fashion increasingly accessible to a wide audience. Throughout the 20th century, the company expanded its offer from textiles to apparel, and eventually to home furnishings—a turning point that solidified its identity as a symbol of the French domestic lifestyle. Over time, La Redoute has become a benchmark for a refined aesthetic that balances elegance, functionality and accessibility.
La Redoute: French style and accessible design for the contemporary home
Today, the brand’s offer revolves around three core areas: fashion, home & décor, and a multibrand marketplace. The “La Redoute Collections” clothing line is complemented by two interior design collections: La Redoute Intérieurs, offering
furniture and accessories with a modern, functional aesthetic, and
AM.PM, a label that embraces a more sophisticated and contemporary language, with a strong focus on materials and detail.
Dining tables, seating,
sofas, textiles and decorative objects define welcoming interiors shaped by a vision of design that is both accessible and refined. A strong emphasis is placed on collaborations with international designers and brands, guided by a spirit of creative dialogue. From capsule collections and limited editions to partnerships with both emerging and established talents, these exclusive projects reflect the brand’s identity. The digital “Boutique Créateurs”—a dedicated space for such collaborations—exemplifies La Redoute’s dynamic approach to promoting a democratic and inclusive vision of design.
La Redoute’s strength lies in its ability to unite manufacturing heritage with a project-driven culture, offering design solutions that are accessible, sustainable and reflective of the quality and appeal of French style. The brand’s focus on materials, formal balance, and constant innovation across its distribution channels makes it a trusted partner for those seeking complete, coordinated and versatile interior design solutions. Today, La Redoute is widely recognized as a lifestyle platform that successfully bridges fashion, home and technology, carrying forward more than 180 years of industrial and creative history into the future.
