Chantelle Bras Chantelle History The history of Chantelle, originally known for their corsets and girdles, stretches back to the 19th Century. In 1876, Monsieur Jules Gamischon applied the vulcanization process to fabric, and further utilizing stretchy materials, he began making corsets of elasticized fabric. This was a welcome change for women, and allowed them to move and breathe easier in their new elasticized corsets, instead of the rigid whalebone and metal stays that were previously the norm. Gamischons nephew, Maurice Kretz took over the company in 1936, when he dubbed the venture the Kretz Company. In 1950, the Kretz Company began manufacturing an elasticized (Lastex) thread for a new girdle. The name Chantelle was trademarked by Jules Gamischon, and his grandson, Claude Kretz, drove the creation of the new line. The Chantelle girdle was in instant success and swept the French market. The company was thereafter established as a quality source for beautiful lingerie. Since then, Chantelle has kept up with the times and never been out of touch with the lingerie needs of the modern woman. Each season, Chantelle keeps an eye on the trends and incorporates the colors and inspirations into their new styles.
