In March 2025, the Marseille Commercial Court declared Kaporal bankrupt. 280 employees. A history of over twenty years. And one question on everyone's mind: Is it really over?
The answer is no. Kaporal is back.
What Happened
Kaporal had gone through difficult years: pandemic, consumption crisis, pressure from fast fashion giants. Despite a recovery plan approved in 2024, the brand had not been able to recover sufficiently. In March 2025, the decision came down: immediate liquidation, without transition.
The Rebirth
Distribrands Corp has acquired the brand and is giving it a new lease on life. Same DNA, new energy. Its Marseille roots, quality denim, accessible urban style—everything that made Kaporal remains at the heart of the project.
The First Collection: Winter 2026 Outerwear
Kaporal is focusing on what it does best. The Winter 2026 collection centers on outerwear—down jackets, parkas, fleeces, softshells, and sleeveless jackets—for men and women. Clean lines, technical materials, and a confident Y2K spirit.
