Our Story

Our identity

Since 1994, crafted to last.

Ethnic Blue is a French family brand born from the meeting of two families: one rooted in Portugal with a family-owned knitwear factory, the other in Paris, dedicated to timeless design. Together, we create elegant menswear that puts quality, authenticity, and durability first.

Designed in Paris, made in Portugal

Every piece is developed between our Paris team and our Portuguese factory, where know-how has been passed down across generations. From dyeing and knitting to cutting, embroidery, and assembly, each step is carried out with care. A new polo often takes close to a year of trials and adjustments to reach the perfect balance of comfort, fit, and style.

Exclusive knits that make a difference

Our signature fabrics are what set us apart: the “toucher doux” knit—soft, brushed on the inside for all-day comfort—and our piqué knit, renowned for its structure and drape. Colors are long-lasting, finishes are meticulous, and details—like our distinctive button placket—reflect our commitment to well-made garments.

Built for longevity

Our customers keep their polos for years—sometimes decades—because we design for longevity: quality yarns, precise fits, and European manufacturing that respects craft and people. As we evolve, we continue to explore more responsible fibers (including growing use of recycled polyester where relevant) and maintain OEKO-TEX certified processes at our factory.

A family spirit, an international outlook

Ethnic Blue remains a human-scaled brand, close to its customers, growing internationally while staying true to what matters: comfort, elegance, and pieces made to last.
