Rodier

Rodier is a French manufacturer of textiles and ready-to-wear clothing. Its history begins in Picardy in northern France among generations of weavers, the Rodier family, with Auguste Rodier as the founder of the dynasty in 1852. The house became one of the most important fabric makers associated with Haute Couture, and its jersey became its signature. In 1916 Gabrielle Chanel brought Jacques Rodier into her creative research, and in 1954 Rodier introduced the KASHA fabric of merino wool and acrylic. The official website presents autumn-winter 2026/27 novelties and a new collection.

The history of Rodier begins in the heart of Picardy, in northern France, among weavers from father to son, the Rodier family. In 1852, the founder of the dynasty was Auguste Rodier, a true precursor whose weaving techniques made the house one of the most important fabric manufacturers associated notably with Haute Couture. Chosen by Paul Poiret, Chanel, Grès and Dior, Rodier fabrics left their mark on Haute Couture. Jersey, a fine knitted fabric, became Rodier's signature. In 1916, Gabrielle Chanel brought Jacques Rodier into her creative research: she was the first to use jersey for making supple garments, while it was traditionally reserved for undergarments. In 1954, Rodier marked its involvement in the life of the modern woman with the KASHA: a new fabric composed of merino wool and acrylic whose softness evokes cashmere, machine washable.
