Rugby. A young hopeful from the Landes launches his own brand of eco-responsible clothing

At only 20 years old, Pierre Leclerc launched his brand of eco-responsible clothing. Originally from the Landes, he explains this ambitious and personal project to us.

Rugby and business school

Pierre is a purebred dacquois. He started rugby very early, in a club that had seen the illustrious Toto Desclaux, Paul Lasaosa, Pierre Albaladéjo and Raphaël Ibañez. A graduate of Borda high school, he only played a few minutes in a friendly match with the Landes club, despite the many training sessions with the first team.

Then, the young man from the Landes continued his rugby career near Soyaux-Angoulême, in parallel with his business studies at the “Charente Business School”. Three-quarter dynamic center, Pierre had started the season well with the hopes, before being injured. On the school side, he managed to integrate a project incubator offered by the city of his studies, where he can fully exploit the ideas of his future activity.

To be wise

With his school of marketing and the physical glitches of the start of the season, the desire to launch his own brand becomes even more real. It was then that ideas began to flow for Pierre:

Aware of the magnitude of the tasks concerning the creation of his brand “Tyger“, the young Landes delegate delegates the parts related to communication, creation and design to local start-ups. The clothes created are made with 100% ecological and recycled materials. In addition, all the pieces in the collection are made in France and Portugal to fight against the problems linked to the relocation of textile industries, and above all to highlight the quality of local manufacturers.

The clothes will be sold in limited quantities in order to fight against waste. Its brand also supports the “Cheetah Conservation Fund FR” association, a pioneer in research and protection of cheetahs.

"Building credibility for my brand"

The e-commerce site will be released in October 2021. Surrounded by his friends and professionals, he has already managed to release a teaser of his brand:

But the young student is already planning for the long term, and hopes to open a physical store in a few years.

The brand's fundraising campaign is now open on the “Ulule” website. It allows people who wish to do so, to make a financial contribution, in exchange for products delivered to their homes. To find all the information and want to test the clothes, go to: Ulule/Tyger/Pierre Leclerc

The young three-quarter center intends to go to the end of his convictions, and try to grab a few minutes of playing time with the professional group.
