Quechua people
Created as a brand in 1997 in Domancy, France, by a group of nine Decathlon employees, the group launched its first products in the spring of 1998 in all Decathlon stores, geared toward hikers and campers. The brand's design center is in Sallanches, near Mont-Blanc. Its name derives from the indigenous Quechua people of the Andes and their language.
