Founded in 1982, Original Au Coton is an iconic Quebec brand that stood out in the 80's and 90's for its loose-fitting pastel-colored clothing, scarves, bags and matching buttons. Not to mention its legendary logo.
Original Au Coton, or more commonly known as Au Coton, is in the 80's and 90's the Quebec brand beloved by women and men with a casual and trendy lifestyle.
The good old days when wearing a Au Coton sweater was as popular as MusiquePlus music videos, Cyndi Lauper's pop music, Jean-Marc Parent's daring humor, the rallying show Chambre en Ville, the Nintendo and "crimped" hair.
At the height of its popularity, Original Au Coton had over 170 stores in Canada, the United States and Europe.
At the turn of the millennium, the company faced an unprecedented economic situation and had to stop its commercial activities.
The company died out, but the brand transcended.
