Founded initially as a glove business in 1952 and evolving into the Richa brand in 1956 under Charles Rigaux, Richa stands as Belgium’s leading name in motorcycle apparel. Our story is one of passionate family entrepreneurship—now in its second and third generation of Rigaux family stewardship—where heritage craftsmanship meets a forward-thinking, innovative spirit. Operating from our headquarters in Oudenaarde, Belgium, Richa has marked key milestones over decades: from pioneering leather goods to becoming a trendsetter in technical motorcycle gear across Europe and beyond. What started as a small workshop has grown into an international brand trusted by everyday riders and professionals alike, always guided by our legacy of quality, reliability, and family values. Today, Richa remains proudly family-owned, with the Oudenaarde Brandstore as a flagship destination for expert service, product repair, and hands-on demonstration. Our continued expansion and commitment to excellence showcase the enduring Rigaux family legacy—a heritage built on trust, innovation, and a deep love for the open road.
