Éric Bompard SA is a French high-fashion cashmere wool goods manufacturer established in 1984.

History

[edit]

Éric Bompard, an entrepreneur and former computer technician, created the company in 1984 following a trip to Asia where he learned about cashmere weaving.[1]

In the 2004, Éric Bompard began passing over leadership to his daughter, Lorraine de Gournay, for her to later become the chief executive officer (CEO).[2]

In 2018, Xavier Marie, the founder of Maisons du Monde, together with Apax Partners and BPI France, announced their acquisition of Éric Bompard.[3][4][5]

The company subsequently launched an advertising campaign in late 2019, promoting its image through a "Cachemire Family".[6]

In March 2020, Barbara Werschine was announced as the company's new CEO.[7][8]
