1. The History Of Aigle
Firstly, let’s learn more about this fantastic brand. Aigle was born from French heritage coupled with an American visionary! Discovered in 1842, American entrepreneur Hiram Hutchinson used vulcanization, to make rubber more resilient to changes in temperature. To explain, by heating the material in a pressurized atmosphere, it becomes less brittle in the cold and less sticky in heat! He then went on to patent this in 1853.
Today, as a certified mission-driven company, Aigle have three areas of action. To keep their ecological impact under control, to protect biodiversity and believing that change is a collective. These objectives allow Aigle to take a fashion forward approach to sustainable style.
