La Maison Fusalp
For 70 years, we have been infusing a sporty chic spirit, both high-performance and stylish, into ready-to-wear collections.
Tired of designing conventional academic attire for men and driven by their passion for skiing, the founders, who were avid skiers themselves, embraced the challenge of crafting a distinctive piece: the fuseau—a specialised ski trouser.

Resolutely focused on the future, Fusalp brings its spirit of innovation to life, celebrating its origins well beyond the slopes. Fusalp has established a true 'fashion tech' luxury positioning that resonates beyond the ski slopes.
The evolution towards a lifestyle brand implies a proposal that pushes the boundaries of fashion and functionality, consistently reflecting smart clothing that offers style, technicality, and confidence in the face of the challenges of the world.

As a return to its roots, Fusalp has recently established its tailoring workshop in Paris. Mathilde Lacoste, Artistic Director, and her teams work with the most innovative technical fabrics to design ready-to-wear pieces that facilitate movement, while giving equal attention
to structure and appearance. From the conception to the meticulous cutting of fabrics, to the development of discreet details like the magnetic pockets of the Titouan suit jacket, these are genuine challenges being overcome.
Since 2018, Fusalp has internalized its Quality and Research & Development laboratory in Annecy. The Maison's objective is to craft pieces that withstand the test of time and can be passed down from generation to generation.
Taking care to source the most performant materials, more than 8000 tests are conducted annually to ensure the quality and durability of textiles: waterproofing, water repellency, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, color resistance to washing, and elasticity.
