These days, we are increasingly curious about where the products we buy come from. We wonder where the tomatoes that end up in our salads grew, we want to know where the wood for the chair we are sitting on now grew. It's great that we are starting to take a closer look at the products around us. It helps us see the value of things that at first glance are hidden deep below the surface.
At Alain Delon Magazine, we regularly try to give you a glimpse behind the scenes . To show you the people behind the scenes or our production, so that you can see not just a piece of fabric behind your shirt or jacket, but its whole story. However, we often get the same question: where does the Alain Delon brand come from ? And since we are celebrating our 20th birthday this year, it is the right time to tell you a little about us.
The beginnings were the path to success
The idea of establishing a men's brand Alain Delon, which would represent the unique "je ne sais quoi" style of the French actor, had been bubbling in his head for decades. A man dedicated to acting always did everything one hundred percent, and therefore his main requirement was to produce only the best and most exclusive products under his name. And only in 1999 did he find partners who were able to fulfill his idea. They came, perhaps surprisingly, from Slovakia.
Alain Delon put his trust and reputation in the hands of two guys from Bratislava, who were no amateurs. With more than twenty years of experience in the fashion business, which they had already gained during the previous regime and immediately after it in wholesale, they managed to convince the world-famous Frenchman that they were the right ones to give the name Alain Delon a touch not only in the film industry, but also in the fashion industry. However, it was not easy, Delon had previously met with failure at the hands of the French, Germans or Hungarians, who were unable to spread his brand among the masses.
When, after more than two years of struggle, the Alain Delon brand began to emerge from a relatively small Slovakia, the owners made a decision right from the start that destined them for long-term success. In times when major global players were moving production to the Far East in search of greater profits, Alain Delon remained faithful to local production. It was a guarantee of top quality, which has long been the main asset of the Slovak clothing industry. Moreover, thanks to local production, which continues to this day, we have the advantage of flexibility and can meet the requirements of you, our customers, almost immediately.
Foreign name, Slovak origin
Our first store with Alain Delon merchandise in Europe could be found in the historic center of Bratislava, on Panská Street, where it operated until 2013. With the birth of shopping centers, we opened our stores in almost every major Slovak city to be as close to you as possible.
When we launched our online store in 2014, we took the brand beyond Slovakia's borders. That's why the brand recently decided to expand to foreign countries in Europe, so in the future you will be able to find Alain Delon stores not only in Slovakia, but also abroad.
Today, the Alain Delon brand, with its almost fifty employees, is trying to forge exactly the same philosophy that its founders had together with the famous actor two decades ago. And because seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times, take a look at where we manufacture our products for you today . These are the places where they are manufactured from the very beginning. Under a world-famous name, but locally and, most importantly, with quality. So that they will bring you joy for many years.
