Knitting is in the Cousy family’s blood. For five generations, knitwear has been developed and produced in hometown Zottegem. In 1920, Hector Cousy founded the first studio. In the following 100 years, several family members followed in his footsteps. Son Louis provides the first electronically driven machines. His son André, along with his wife Lucile, starts custom-made knitted suits and begins exporting to neighboring countries. Brothers Ludo and Wim make the complete switch to high-end designer knitwear. And currently, daughter Trees continues the business. Team Cousy employs 45 people in
