History
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 2004, 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]
